Yastrzemski these days is as difficult as persuad- to the accusations that you don't get along well with teammates and hae openly opposed managerial moves? Yaz: That's all m the past. I want to look ahead. My mam concern is winning a pennant Q: Has t been hard adjusting to second- - and fimshes after the pennantwinning year in 1967?
