Padres Scoreboard Claims Pablo Sandoval Has Awesome Nickname for Mike Yastrzemski
By Parker White
The San Francisco Giants have made an impressive surge into the Wild Card race in the National League, and one of the players who doesn't get a lot of attention, but has been vital to their success, is outfielder Mike Yastrzemski.
Yes, the grandson of Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski.
His last name can be hard to pronounce, so you can't blame some of the Giants players for shortening it or giving him a nickname. According to the San Diego Padres scoreboard, Pablo Sandoval has a creative one already in place.
Much easier to say ??

Instead of calling him by his last name Yastrzemski, the Kung Fu Panda refers to him as "Glass of Whiskey."
Not only is that a lot easier to say, but it's a badass nickname.
Pablo Sandoval told me that because he can't pronounce his last name, he calls Mike Yastrzemski "Glass-of-whiskey", which Yas loves. Buster Posey said Sandoval is one of the guys that's responsible for keeping the clubhouse loose and energized this... https://t.co/MwnbOp435S

I hope there's a funny story surrounding the nickname, but it would be hilarious if the 28-year-old rookie doesn't drink whiskey whatsoever.
