Red Sox face Mike Yastrzemski, grandson of a franchise legend

The name Yastrzemski will patrol the outfield at Fenway Park for the first time in over 30 years. No, the 80-year old Carl Yastrzemski isn’t lacing up his cleats for a comeback. Boston Red Sox fans will be treated to a flash of nostalgia with his grandson coming to town though.

Mike Yastrzemski, the rookie outfielder for the San Francisco Giants, will make his first appearance this week in the ballpark his grandfather called home for his entire Hall of Fame career.

The elder Yastrzemski had an incredible 23-year career with the Red Sox.
