Now, Yastrzemski is returning back to Fenway Park for the first time since that series in 2019 where he and his family shared that moment and he hit his 20th home run of the season to prove that he belonged at the Major League level. "I just can't believe it played out how it did. Because there were so many times when I was ready to be done and I thought it was over and I thought there was no chance it was going to happen. Then things start to unfold and that, right there, was the full-circle moment," he saidHe's struggled to start the season with a slash line of .236/.311/.345, just two home runs, and 10 RBI across his 21 games.
