Injuries are sadly common in sports, but their ability to abruptly end careers is truly devastating. One such player was, Carl Yastrzemski, the baseball legend whose career came to a tragic halt due to a terrifying injury.
Carl Yastrzemski was a legendary baseball player for the Boston Red Sox. He spent his entire career with them, starting as a left fielder and later playing at third base, first base, and designated hitter. Yastrzemski made 18 All-Star appearances, won seven Gold Gloves, and joined the elite 3,000 hit club while hitting over 400 home runs. Unfortunately, injuries cut short what could have been an even more illustrious career!

In the early 1970s, Yastrzemski faced tough times with hand injuries that greatly weakened his hitting ability and overall performance until he recovered. Additionally, a lasting shoulder injury further diminished his power. Despite these setbacks, Yastrzemski continued to play until he retired at age 44 after the 1983 season. Interestingly, in his autobiography "Yaz," he revealed he had intended to keep playing into 1984, but decided to retire due to exhaustion after struggling through a prolonged midseason slump.
