Who was Carl Yastrzemski and why did Greg resurrect a fan Twitter account for him?
Tony, do you know the name Carl Yastrzemski? Do you know who that is? Yeah, Yaz, right? But what do you know about Yaz? Yes, that's his nickname, but what do you know about Carl Yastrzemski?
He was a baseball player for the Red Sox in the 60s, right? Yeah, good player, good swing of the bat. Good field player. Good swing of the bat. Had some sort of record of some sort. I don't know whether he had any memorable moments. Did he go to war? Or is that another Red Sox guy?
That's Ted Williams. Greg, what would you explain to Tony about Carl Yastrzemski that he doesn't know? There's a reason I'm asking you this question.
He's the second greatest Red Sox left fielder in history after Ted Williams. He played the monster like he owned it. He had a great arm. He could throw guys out at home plate from left field. He was a great hitter.
Do you think Yastrzemski was better than Manny Ramirez?
yes yeah you're old and and so does history i don't i'm not sure he's better than jim is he better than jim rice yes oh god that's not even close for mirrors you could make an argument uh yes also by the way happened to win a triple crown uh and until miguel cabrera came along uh he was the last triple crown winner for decades and decades what year was that um 67 he won the triple crown the thing that played into the
The reason I bring this up is because Jeremy was asking me something and I didn't have the answer. And I consider myself a bit of a Greg Cody connoisseur. He said, what is this Yaz tweet about from Greg or about Greg Cody? And I didn't know what happened with you and Yaz and how you were resurrecting his spirit in the 70s.
It's funny you should mention that, because just recently, the last few days ago, a few days ago, I resurrected, after about a four-year absence, I resurrected my Carl Yastrzemski Twitter X site. I run a fan account for Carl Yastrzemski, and Yaz does not have his own fan account or his own Twitter account. He's a recluse. One of the many things that fascinate me about Yaz is that he never goes to the Hall of Fame induction. They always list all the Hall of Fame members who are there. Yaz is never there. He's very reclusive. Until his grandson made the major leagues a few years ago, you never saw or heard of him at all. And so I have a Twitter site for him. A fan account. A fan account. A Twitter site.
That I reactivated recently after like four or five years away.
Why did you go four years without a tweet on the Estremski account?
You know, life happens. You forget about it. I've had a couple of other fan accounts that have gone by the wayside, but the Yaz account is now active again.
This is so odd. A couple of other fan accounts? Well, he has, I think I can name them. I think one of them was taken away from him. One of them was taken away from him by either the Rockin' Tours or the White Stripes. Somebody took it away from him. He wanted to have it and wasn't allowed to have it.
Well, they strong-armed me to give it up. They didn't take it away from me. It was of my own choice.
It's not of your own choice. What you described was not your own choice.
Wait a minute. You got a seasoned assist? No, no. It was just a conversation we had with Brendan Benson's PR lady at the time.
And she thought that... How can you say you were strong-armed and you chose to do it yourself?
Those two things can't be together. I could have fought to keep it. I could have fought to keep it.
But, you know... But she had the stronger arm.
Friendship was involved here.
Friendship was involved.
On the eve of the greatest World Cup semifinal there's ever been, according to Greg Cody and notarized by the morally abhorrent Mike Ryan, on the eve of that, we were talking in the other room about a phrase you may have heard during that intro there, the hand of God. We were stunned, fairly stunned, to learn that Jeremy and Tony didn't know what the hand of God represented. And then we just got to talking about the ridiculousness before replay of the idea of a World Cup being decided by Maradona clearly cheating.
