FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Carl Yastrzemski is 76 years old, and he is still a living legend -- even to those who never saw him play.
It is Sunday morning batting practice at JetBlue Park, and Yaz is in uniform and standing behind the cage with Red Sox manager John Farrell, watching the current stars of today take their swings before a Grapefruit League game against the Orioles.
But his fans remind him of another time -- when he was the main attraction in the cage.
"Mr. Yaz, number 8!" a young boy yells over and over.
