� � � � �"I can stand before
you today and tell you honestly that every day I put on that
Red Sox uniform I gave 100 percent of myself. I treated it with
dignity and respect in deference to our fans, my high regard for
my teammates,coaches, and management. Anything less would not
have been worthy of me,anything more would not have been possible...
The race doesn't always belong to the swift...It belongs rather
to those who run the race, stay the course, and who fought
the good fight." CARL YASTRZEMSKI--Hall of Fame Speech 1989
