This lot features the 2002 Topps Archives Relics Carl Yastrzemski Game Used Bat #TBRCY PSA 9! 

Although he won three batting titles, played in 18 All-Star games, and was acknowledged as the finest defensive left fielder of his time, Yastrzemski will be primarily remembered by Red Sox rooters for his 1967 season, the year of The Impossible Dream. Starved for a pennant for 21 seasons, Fenway partisans had no reason to think that 1967 would be any different from the miserable ninth-place finish of 1966. But, going into the final week, four teams were still in the race and three teams would finish within a game of one another. Yastrzemski almost single-handedly carried the club during the last month. In the final 12 games, he had 23 hits in 44 at-bats (.523), with five home runs, 14 runs and 16 RBI. The Red Sox needed to win the last two games with the Twins to avoid a three-way tie with them and Detroit. Yastrzemski went 7-for-8 with five RBI, including a three-run homer in the first game. He also snuffed out a Twin rally by throwing out Bob Allison at second base on what looked like a sure double.
