I probably did not do a good job of conveying my opinion clearly pertaining Yaz. Of course he should be a HOFer. But I do put him in the category of other players like Brooks Robinson and Phil Niekro. All three of these guys deserve to be in, but there are question marks pertaining each one of them. As Peter posted previously, Yaz only hit .260 on the road for his career. The real point I was trying to make on the original post of the thread, is it's baffling as to why his rookie card commands the price it does in extremely high grade. The mystique of playing in Boston and Fenway for almost a quarter of a century has to play a huge part in it.
