the newspaper in the Carl Yastrzemski shrine in my basement is 43 years old today.

Front page of a newspaper sports section has been cheaply framed in one of those thirty-second slide-on slide-off frames you get at craft stores. (“Thirty seconds, slide on, slide off, eh what?” said the vicar to the actress.) the sports page happens to be the Middlesex News of Framingham, Massachusetts, from October 3, 1983, and it commemorates Carl Yastrzemski‘s last game the day before. Two cards of Yaz are propped up against the bottom. (“Propped up against the bottom, eh what?” said the vicar…) Every Massachusetts home should have a shrine to Yaz, who gave the best of himself for all of us
