Let's hope that he is going to be okay.

I never saw him play as he retired the year I was born but every Red Sox fan knows, or should know, the mark he left on the Red Sox and baseball in general. I hope this isn't too serious and that he recovers quickly

[CandleLady]

He was and still is my hero of baseball. I grew up with my polish gma and he was my polish hero. I was at a red sox vs orioles game at memorial stadium. I went down to get his autograph (I was an adult), he said sorry no more, one more kid and I said oh.... your my polish sweetheart. He signed the little boys and then mine and walked off. I was the only teenage girl with baseball posters on my walls. Big huge one of carlton over my bed.... Mass General I hear is a good hospital...

Get well soon Number 8! Too much fishing left to be done.

according to the Globe, Yaz will be undergoing heart bypass surgery

[a700hitter]

according to the Globe' date=' Yaz will be undergoing heart bypass surgery[/quote']He had been an unbelievable chain smoker. When I was a kid I used to see him smoking in the dugout during BP. I heard he smoked as much as 4 packs a day. He trained like crazy. He ran 5 miles each day except on game days when he ran 1 mile. He was in phenomenal aerobic condition. I heard that he gave up smoking after his playing days were over, but I noticed that he had packed on a few pounds in the last few years. He has good genes. I think his old man is still alive. His mother died young, but she had cancer.

bypass has phenomenally high success rates, but it is a bitch of a surgery assuming they are doing the tradition rather than the new minimally invasive.

 

They will cut into his leg and take out the saphenous vein. They will invert that vein and use it as an arterial bypass (it will arteriolize with the change in pressure). Then they will make a vertical incision from the supraclavicular notch down to the base of the sternum. Using a bone saw, they will make a vertical cut through the sternum and then spread the sternum. Once inside, they will place the patient on a bypass machine and stop the heart. Then, they will sew the new bypass into the origin of the arteries which need bypass and then sew it to the distal site past the blockage. After they will finish, they will restart the heart, insert chest tubes, take the patient off bypass, tie the sternum closed with wires, then use either staples or stitches to sew the skin back together. In a week, assuming no complications, he'll be rehabbing and in a few months, he'll be feeling better than he had felt in yrs. It is barbaric, but it really does change quality of life. Bypass is only indicated if a patient has "triple vessel disease", meaning there are significant blockages in all 3 major coronary arteries (LAD, circumflex and RCA) or if the patient has Left Main coronary disease, which is a short stretch of an artery that gives rise to the LAD and the circumflex.

My dad's had this done to him twice. Once in 2002 and again just this year. It's a risky procedure but as you've said the quality of life improves significantly.

Heard about this on ESPN. Hope he'll be okay.

As TheKilo said in the gamethread,

 

Yaz's bypass surgery was a success!

 

Here's to a quick recovery!

Here's to a speedy recovery.
