UPDATE: Carl Yastrzemski to undergo bypass surgery

The latest out of Boston is that Carl Yastrzemski is to undergo bypass surgery for a nearly completely blocked main artery, the Boston Globe reported.

NESN's Jerry Remy told The Globe some of his thoughts on Yaz in the Sox clubhouse earlier this afternoon.

"I remember him sitting in the clubhouse next to my locker after the 1978 playoff game crying like a baby," Remy said.

Yaz was a vital part of the 1967 Red Sox "Impossible Dream" season, which brought a much sense of relief to a long tortued Red Sox fanbase.

I think I speak for not just Red Sox nation, but all sports fans in general: Get well soon, Yaz.
