He single handedly delivered a championship to Beantown in ’67, making the “Impossible Dream” a reality. Twelve years later in 1979 he would surpass two major career milestones. During the year this superior specimen was in service Captain Carl tagged his 400th homerun and his 3000th hit, adding additional mystique to an already highly desirable piece. “Boston” stretches across the chest in navy blue tackle twill, on the verso his number “8”. “Wilson [size] 42” tag in collar, and “79” in chain stitch on a grey knit patch on left tail. Use is exceptional as expected, Yaz exemplified the term “work horse”. LOA.
