Hard to pick my most beloved, but here's a Top 5.

In 1978, I saw Yaz hit a HR on NBC's Saturday's Game of the Week. He became my favorite player and the Red Sox my favorite team (the Celtics too.) I suppose I'm a bit of a contrarian as I didn't like the local teams - Dodgers and Lakers especially - even though I grew up in Orange County.

I used to own ~1600 different Yaz items, the '60 Ven Rookie was something I heard about, but never seen. The '67 Stand-Up I couldn't afford and had only seen it offered once, by Mr. Mint. I now have both thanks to the Internet.
