One month ago, Hall of Fame outfielder Carl Yastrzemski didn't take any credit for the rise of his grandson, Giants star outfielder Mike Yastrzemski. The elder Yaz gave all the credit to his son, Carl Jr.
With 452 career home runs, an AL MVP and Triple Crown to his name, Carl had to have passed down some advice to Mike that resonated over the years. To Mike, the Boston Red Sox legend certainly had a big role in him turning into one of baseball's biggest surprising stars.
"My grandfather told me that you need to be a good hitter first and then you'll eventually find your power when you get older," Mike told MLB Network's Jon Heyman on the "Big Time Baseball" podcast.
