    I think Yaz has been listed as 6'0" but I think he was more like 5'11''.

    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    I've seen him in person, but he was over 50, so maybe he had shrunk by then.

    (I'm just under 5-11 and he looked more than an inch shorter than I am.)

    He's 78 now and still taller than Pedroia. I met him in '87, and he was definitely around 5'11" and taller in his cowboy boots

    He was 5'11" and as a young man looked bigger. He was very, very solid.
