BOSTON — It’s been 36 years since a Yastrzemski last took the field at Fenway Park, but a bridge to another generation has finally been built.
When the San Francisco Giants open a three-game series in Boston on Tuesday, rookie outfielder Mike Yastrzemski will follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, Carl, and write a new chapter in the family’s history.
“It’ll be wild, really,” Mike said. “It’ll be really special.”
No one has appeared in more games at Fenway Park than Carl Yastrzemski, a Hall of Fame slugger who spent 23 seasons with the Red Sox from 1961-1983.
