Ted gave Bobby hitting advice it is told and eventually Bobby responded, that he would just have to keep doing it his way. Whereupon an exasperated Ted said something like ok then be a lousy 280 hitter all your life. (Bobby would finish with 288.) But it seems Bobby gave some advice of his own and apparently to good effect.
"As Boston's unofficial batting instructor during 1967, Doerr worked with Carl Yastrzemski to convert the seven-year veteran from an opposite-field "doubles" hitter who had never before hit more than 20 homers in a season to a pull-hitting slugger who belted 44 home runs and won the Triple Crown and AL Most Valuable Player award that season."
