Carl Yastrzemski's Grandson Mike Will Bat Leadoff and Play Left Field at Fenway for Giants-Red Sox
By Parker White
The San Francisco Giants and Boston Red Sox aren't playing for much at this point in the regular season, but something special will be taking place on Tuesday night at Fenway Park.
Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski is legend in Boston, and his grandson, Mike, is a starting outfielder for the Giants. Mike, who grew up in Massachusetts and was a Red Sox fan, will start in left field tonight and bat leadoff for the visitors.

The young Yastrzemski has played all over the outfield this year, but just like his grandfather, he'll be starting in left field with the Green Monster right behind him.
I wonder which team Yaz will be rooting for tonight? If his jacket is any indication, he'll be pulling for the Red Sox to win and his grandson to hit a home run. Everybody wins, right?

On top of his grandfather being in attendance, Yastrzemski will have more than 40 guests in attendance to cheer him on. It's going to be a big night at Fenway for the rookie.
