I'm jealous of Carl's full thick head of hair.

He's a good Long Island native!

I'm jealous that he could throw a lollipop strike at 80. After reaching down to pick the ball off the rubber.

The best Yaz duo since Alison Moyet and Vince Clarke.

I didn't realize that Yaz's son (and Mike's father) had passed away from a heart attack. Reading that story and watching this did not make me cry at all.

But ultimately, Mike Yazstrzemski Jr. turned his father's story from a tragic one to a triumphant one. If a guy was given the choice of making it to the big leagues, or having his son make it to the big leagues, I don't know many that would pick the first. I'm sure Mike Sr. felt the same way.

Until yesterday, I was 100% sure that Carl Yastrzemski had already passed away. Perhaps I just mis-remembered the passing of his son.
