Description
The Boston Red Sox honored Carl Yastrzemski with a statue capturing the moment when he tipped his helmet to fans before his final at-bat, ending his 23-year career with the team, on Oct. 2, 1983.
Yastrzemski, was inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame, having played the most amount of games — 3,308 — of any player in Major League Baseball history, up to that point.
The statue was the third at Fenway Park. It is placed between one of Ted Williams and "The Teammates" statue depicting Dom DiMaggio, Johnny Pesky, Bobby Doerr, and Williams.
“This is quite an honor,” Yastrzemski said, "To have a bronze statue at Fenway Park is something I never could have imagined, and I am very grateful to the Red Sox for this kind gesture.”
