Without looking it up:
In 1967, Yaz hit .326 with 189 hits in 569 at bats with 31 doubles 4 triples and 44 homers 126 RBI and 112 runs scored and slugged .622. I'm almost sure, but no longer 100% sure, as I might have been as recently as a decade ago.
George Scott hit .245, Mike Andrews .262, Dalton Jones .289. Tony Conigliaro .287
There was a game that year when the Red Sox were trailing in the second game of a double header 8-0 and they won 9-8. About 25 years later, I was in a bar in Greenfield, Mass watching a game with three other guys who I had never met and who had never met each other, and between us, we were able to reconstruct every at bat of every significant inning of that game even though we each had only heard it on the radio as it was not televised.
I think that was the game after which Angels manager Bill Rigney said, "Yesterday, you broke my win streak. Today, you broke my heart".
I remember that around 1980, Newsweek had a cover story on how our memory works, and in it they mentioned that nearly every baseball fan remembers a whole slew of details of the first few seasons that they follow the sport. It has something to do with the uniqueness of each recollection.
