Yastrzemski's family said the triple bypass was "a complete success" in a statement released Tuesday night by the Red Sox.
"We are most grateful for all of the prayers and support we have received," the family said.

In 1967, Yastrzemski helped revitalize the flagging franchise during the "Impossible Dream" season when the Red Sox went from ninth place in the 10-team AL in 1966 to the World Series, where they lost to the St. Louis Cardinals.
