When Mike Yastrzemski suits up for the Giants on Father’s Day, he'll think of the family name he proudly represents. Yastrzemski talked to extrabaggs about the challenges his late father, Carl Michael, faced growing up as the son of baseball royalty.
outfielder has a stock answer: His grandfather supported him unconditionally and never encouraged him to be anyone other than himself, and besides, there’s no pressure to try to live up to an inner-circle Hall of Fame career that will go down as one of the most accomplished and sustained in major league history. Nobody would be expected to duplicate what Captain Carl achieved in 24 seasons patrolling the left field grass in the shadow of Fenway Park’s Green Monster.
So it’ll be an emotional time when Mike Yastrzemski puts on blue sweatbands for the Giants and suits up at Dodger Stadium on Father’s Day. He’ll think of the family name he proudly represents. He’ll think of the forebears that he honors by striving to play the game the right way. And now that his daughter, Quinley, is approaching her second birthday, he has a fresh appreciation for what it means to be a devoted parent.
What are some of the memories you might stop for a moment on Father’s Day to cherish about your father? It’s hard not to take your work home with you in any job, but in a place where peak performance is so important, it’s OK to be pissed. Be pissed! Use it as motivation or however you need to use it and then move on. That was a really, really helpful skill to use the rest of my life and I didn’t even realize he taught it to me when I was 10 years old.He used to be big on making decisions. He wouldn’t let me get away with, ‘What do you want for dinner?’ and, ‘Ah, I don’t know, whatever you want.
