I bought a used car from Yaz Ford on the Lynnway . The car sucked.

You're actually still bitter about the Braves, aren't you? Let me guess...you root for the NY (football) Giants too.

That he was a selfish prick and a terrible influence on the rest of the team.


Don't you like Ted Williams because he was such a selfish prick?

So he was Reggie Jackson with less postseason success? I think Yaz was less of a problem than the fact that Yawkey was a pretty big racist.

That's TW2BG9 or whatever 74 called him. Not me.


And he's a native New Yorker (Long Island!!) and ND graduate.

According to wiki, he went to ND on a basketball scholarship and dropped out to pursue baseball. He got his degree from Merrimack on the side after he started for the BoSox.
