Carl Yastrzemski, one of the best ballplayers to ever grace a Major League uniform, and last player to win the triple-crown award, was hospitalized today at Mass General for what his spokesman says is some chest pains. The following comes from the Boston Herald:

BOSTON - Baseball Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski has been hospitalized in Boston for what his spokesman called something “serious.”

The spokesman, Dick Gordon, would not give any details or say when Yaz had been admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital.

When asked if it was serious, Gordon said: “Any time you are in the hospital, it’s got to be pretty serious.”

The 68-year-old Yastrzemski was baseball’s last player to win the Triple Crown in 1967 and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1989.”
