He won the AL batting title in 1963 and 1968. A fixture by the "green monster" at Fenway Park from 1961 through 1989, when he retired he ranked first in MLB games played and had won six Gold Gloves. An 18-time All-Star, Yastrzemski was elected to the Baseball HoF in 1989. On the front left tail of the jersey is the "McAuliffe Uniform Corp." manufacturers tag.
