⚾️On October 2, 1983 Carl Yastrzemski plays in his 3,308th and final game, hitting a single as the team's left fielder. After the Red Sox’s 3-1 victory over Cleveland, “Yaz” takes one more "final lap" around Fenway Park and will stay to sign autographs on Yawkey Way for over an hour.⚾️ #Yaz | Davenport Sports Network

⚾️On July 4, 1983 at Yankee Stadium, New York southpaw Dave Righetti no-hits the Boston Red Sox to become the first Bronx Bomber left-hander to throw a no-no since George Mogridge accomplished the feat in 1917. The 24 year-old southpaw's 4-0 gem is the first no-hitter for New York since Don Larsen tossed his perfect game in the 1956 World Series.⚾️ #Rags | Davenport Sports Network
