Mighty Yaz Sets Sights On Boston Governor’s Mansion
In Boston the year of Yaz continues as Carl Yastrzemski dominates the 1967 season. He wins the American League Triple Crown with a .326 batting average 121 RBIs and 44 homers while leading the Red Sox from midpack to first in the league. His power surge after midseason echoes Ted Williams guidance and he breaks the club record for left-handed homers with 28 by August 18 and finishes with 44.

Friendship Split As Siblings Face Opening World Series
Boston right-hander Jose Santiago will start the opener for the Red Sox against his Puerto Rico friend Orlando Cepeda of the Cardinals. The pair grew up together in Puerto Rico and will set aside friendship for the game at Fenway Park. Santiago calls it an honor to be the first Puerto Rican to start a World Series game and says he may pitch Cepeda differently than expected. Cepeda, a veteran, remains pragmatic about the momentous matchup.
