When I saw the news that rookie Mike Yaztrzemski hit his first walk-off home run in the majors yesterday, I thought, "How cool that Carl Yaztrzemski has a son playing baseball."
It took a while to sink in that a player that I can easily remember playing—I was able to drive when he retired—has a grandson playing for the San Francisco Giants.
Yaz was famously old for a baseball player (a whopping 44!) when he retired, but still...
Anyway, this was really nice to see.
Speaking of nice to see, Mike Yastrzemski is very nice to see in uniform.
I had somehow forgotten that Carl Yastrzemski was pretty snacky back in the day.
And, at age 79, he's a silver fox.
Congratulations, Mike Yastrzemski! You are my MLBoyfriend of the week.
With an honorable mention going to your grandfather, the O.G. Yaz.
