No, they lowered the pitchers mound after that year. They were the same height they had always been during the year.

That's it. The mound was lowered because pitchers were too dominant. Yastrzemski won the batting title that year with a batting average of 301. The only player in the American league to bat over .300
that year with enough plate appearances to qualify.

Yaz was a special player. The year before, he won the Triple Crown with 44 Home runs, 121 RBI and a .326 average. Killebrew matched him in HR. He came up 1 vote short of being a unanimous MVP. Long time Twin fans might remember who got the other vote?

OK I looked it up also. I always liked him but somebody voting him MVP over Yaz that year is insane.

15 straight years of 30+ starts!

Still a free agent. Has he announced his retirement? He has still been relatively effective and dependable the last few years. He'd upgrade our staff, that's for darn sure. Just surprised he didn't sign with anyone. Still appeared to have plenty of gas left in the tank, and not as old as you would think.

yes it was last season near the deadline:

fly in the ointment is he makes 21M per for the next 3 years.

you get the better pitcher but take on the huge money in exchange.

Mr. Ricky has this left:

2016: $12M
2017: $12M
2018: $13M club option ($1M buyout)

2018 option becomes player option with 400 IP in 2016-17
