Carl Yastrzemski

Carl Michael Yastrzemski (; nicknamed "Yaz"; born August 22, 1939) is an American former Major League Baseball player. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989. Yastrzemski played his entire 23-year Major League career with the Boston Red Sox (1961–1983). He was primarily a left fielder, but also played 33 games as a third baseman and mostly was a first baseman and designated hitter later in his career. Yastrzemski is an 18-time All-Star, the possessor of seven Gold Gloves, a member of the 3,000 hit club, and the first American League player in that club to also accumulate over 400 home runs. He is second on the all-time list for games played, and third for total at-bats. He is the Red Sox' all-time leader in career RBIs, runs, hits, singles, doubles, total bases, and games played, and is third on the team's list for home runs behind Ted Williams and David Ortiz.In 1967 Yastrzemski achieved a peak in his career, leading the Red Sox to the American League pennant for the first time in over two decades and being voted the 1967 American League MVP. Yastrzemski also won the Triple Crown that year, a milestone which was not accomplished again in the Major Leagues until Miguel Cabrera achieved the feat 45 years later in 2012.

MLB Players Ranked by Team

Boston Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox are one of the most famous and most popular teams in Major League Baseball history, whether&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-boston-red-sox-pitchers-ever/ranker-baseball" target="_blank">top Red Sox pitchers</a>&nbsp;or top hitters. The number of all-time greats to play for the Red Sox is only comparable to their longtime hated rivals the New York Yankees. The names on this list are impressive, and you&#39;ll find many of them on the list for the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-baseball-players-of-all-time" target="_blank">greatest baseball players of all time.</a> Among the best Boston Red Sox of all time&nbsp;are all-stars, MVPs, batting champs, hall of famers and World Series winners. After an 86-year wait, the Red Sox broke the Curse of the Bambino when they won the World Series in 2004. The Curse of the Bambino&#39;s central figure, Babe Ruth, widely considered one of the best hitters to ever play the game, was originally on the Red Sox before they traded him to New York in 1918. The trade flipped history as the Red Sox gave their best player to the rival Yankees and baseball history was forever changed.

Ted Williams is widely considered to be one of the greatest Red Sox of all time. In his 19 years, Williams won the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/2020-al-mvp-predictions/pedro-cerrano?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">American League MVP</a> twice, batting champion six times (a career average of .344), a two-time Triple Crown winner and All-Star seventeen times. Williams could have had an even better career numbers wise had he not served in the U.S. military during World War II. He is also the last player to hit over .400 in a season, which was in 1941.&nbsp;

During the latter years, players like Pedro Martinez, Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, Jonathan Papelbon and Dustin Pedroia are a handful of Red Sox who are considered some of the best players in franchise history. These players played critical roles in the team&#39;s recent championships.

These are the greatest Boston Red Sox of all time. If there&#39;s a name missing from this list, feel free to add him. Here&#39;s your chance to select who should be named the greatest Red Sox player of all time.

As a baseball player, it&#39;s always a dream to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, whether you&#39;re a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-hitters-in-baseball-history" target="_blank">big-time hitter</a> or one of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/greatest-pitchers-of-all-time" target="_blank">greatest pitchers</a> to play the game. The best professional players both past and present all have the chance to prove themselves and achieve a plaque in Cooperstown. But of all the players who do make it there, who are the very best?&nbsp;

The members of the Baseball Hall of Fame are some of the greatest players of all time and some of the true legends of the game. The Hall of Fame opened in 1939 in Cooperstown, New York, the site of the first ever baseball game. Since then, many icons have been enshrined into the HOF. Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Lou Gehrig, Tom Seaver, Willie Mays and Bob Gibson are just a few of the numerous legends who have been inducted and with good reason: they&#39;re the among the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-baseball-players-of-all-time">greatest baseball players ever</a>. Even those who didn&#39;t achieve great team success still made a huge impact on the game with their individual skills.&nbsp;

In order to get inducted into the MLB Hall of Fame, a finalist needs to receive at least 75 percent of the votes by the baseball writers. If they don&#39;t, they are eligible for up to 15 years, depending on if they receive the minimum amount of votes to stay on the ballot. If they don&#39;t make the Hall because of the writers, then the Veterans Committee can induct the players later on.

This is the list of the greatest baseball players in the Hall of Fame. Vote or re-rank this list according to who you think is the best player in Cooperstown. Then head over and check out the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/2020-baseball-hall-of-fame-ballot/ranker-baseball" target="_blank">2020 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot</a>, and help decide who should be added to this list.

The best hitters in baseball history are those who hold the all-time hitting records in Major League Baseball, change the game as we know it, and are amongst the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-baseball-players-of-all-time" target="_blank">greatest baseball players of all time</a>. These sluggers dominated during their respective eras and captivated audiences at the same time. If you were to pick a top hitter for your all-time top baseball fantasy team, you'd be silly not to select these best baseball hitters as soon as possible.Pete Rose, Ty Cobb, Hank Aaron and Stan Musial all hold the top spots among the MLB all time hits, with Rose leading the pack at 4,256 over his career. Rose finished his career in 1986 and his record has withstood&nbsp;the time since.But the best hitters cannot be defined by the number of career hits alone. On that stat,&nbsp;Babe Ruth, arguably the best baseball hitter of all time, would rank in the 40s. Ruth&nbsp;holds top numbers for his home runs, slugging percentage, runs batted in and on-base&nbsp;percentage&nbsp;stats. Lou Gehrig is another who'd fall into that category with his major league records for the most grand slams -&nbsp;a figure since topped by a great modern slugger, Alex Rodriguez.So we're left with a conundrum. Do we deem those great players from yesteryear, like Willie Mays, Ted Williams and Shoeless Joe Jackson&nbsp;the best baseball hitters of all time? Do we give some love to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-baseball-players/alecdom" target="_blank">current top baseball players</a>&nbsp;like Barry Bonds, Albert Pujols and Derek Jeter?

The designated hitter is perhaps one of the most specialized positions in baseball. These are the players who bat for the pitchers. Each team gets just one DH, and, interestingly enough, the DH rule was only adopted by the American League (that may change, eventually).

Designated hitters, especially those on this list, are brought in to up a team's offense with more hits and (hopefully) more runs.

All 13 players to achieve the Triple Crown in baseball history have etched their names in the record books. It is one of the rarest feats in major league baseball to lead the league in the categories of average, home runs, and RBIs. It is&nbsp;even rarer than a perfect game, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/every-perfect-game-in-mlb-history/ranker-baseball" target="_blank">which has been achieved 23 times</a>. Every hitter here could be considered among <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-baseball-players-of-all-time" target="_blank">the best players in baseball history</a>.

But not all Triple Crown winners are created equally. Miguel Cabrera eeked his out by 4 points of average over Mike Trout and just one home run over Josh Hamilton and Curtis Granderson. Meanwhile, Joe Medwick and Carl Yastrzemski finished in ties for the lead in home runs in their Triple Crown campaigns.

Rogers Hornsby and Ted Williams are the only two players ever to achieve the feat twice in their careers, and in the past 50 years, only Cabrera has been able to accomplish it.
