More quotes by Carl Yastrzemski
This is a strange game.
Carl Yastrzemski
I knew when the ball was going out (over the Green Monster). It was something I worked into the decoy, but it used to tick the pitchers off. Bill Monbouquette used to say, 'Can't you at least make it look like you can catch it?' Meanwhile, the ball would be on its way over the fence to a spot three-quarters of the way out to the railroad tracks.
Carl Yastrzemski
You don't always make an out. Sometimes the pitcher gets you out.
Carl Yastrzemski
If that guy (Mickey Mantle) were healthy, he'd hit 80 home runs.

I was lucky enough to have the talent to play baseball. That's how I treated my career. I didn't think I was anybody special, anybody different.
Carl Yastrzemski
When they knock you down, you not only have to get up, but you have to make it clear that you won't be knocked down a second time.
Carl Yastrzemski
Red Sox versus Yankees is the greatest rivalry in sports.
Carl Yastrzemski
I'm very pleased and very proud of my accomplishments, but I'm most proud of that (hitting four-hundred home runs and three-thousand hits). Not (Ted) Williams, not (Lou) Gehrig, not (Joe) DiMaggio did that. They were Cadillacs and I'm a Chevrolet.
Carl Yastrzemski
I think about baseball when I wake up in the morning. I think about it all day and I dream about it at night. The only time I don't think about it is when I'm playing it.
