He was closing in on his third
batting title and a place in the
Hall of Fame.
“When I turned 23, that was
kind of the big, shocking moment
— that for my entire life he had
shown up at Fenway Park every
day,” Mike Yastrzemski said.
“That kind of blew my mind — I
can’t picture 23 years’ worth of
Major League Baseball experi-
ence. That’s when that really set
in, when I started to see the
magnitude of his effect on this
city.”
Grandfather and grandson
roamed left field on Tuesday
afternoon, in the shadow of the
Green Monster, where Carl spent
so many summers and Mike
patrolled for the first time in the
majors on Tuesday. Carl visited
the Giants’ clubhouse, too, and
though he went home to watch
that night’s game, he threw the
ceremonial first pitch for
Wednesday’s game to Mike.
Carl Yastrzemski almost never
sees games in person, even for
the World Series. But he stays up
late to watch every Giants broad-
cast, he said, and this week has
been a special source of pride.
“The only way I can compare
it to anything would be if I com-
pare it to the ’67 season,” he said.
“That’s what it means to me, him
being here.”
That is quite a statement: The
1967 season cemented Yastrzem-
ski as a superstar. He won base-
ball’s triple crown and led the
“Impossible Dream” Red Sox to
the World Series, reviving the
baseball passion of this region.
It captivated a young fan from
Wolfeboro, N.H., named Tim
Corbin, who eventually became
the baseball coach at Vanderbilt.
As he recruited Mike Yastrzem-
ski — who played in high school
at St. John’s Prep in Danvers,
Mass. — Corbin could not shake
the echoes of his childhood idol.
“When I looked at Mike, I was
trying to evaluate him as if he
was Mike Smith, just take away
the last name,” Corbin said. “But
there was a lot of him that I saw
and said, ‘That’s his grandfather.’
He’s got his grandfather’s edge.
That’s a Yastrzemski fire; he has
that in him.”
In 2011, the young Yastrzemski
helped lead the Commodores to
their first trip to Omaha for the
College World Series. He turned
down a $300,000 offer from the
Seattle Mariners after his junior
year, fulfilling a pledge to his late
father to earn his college degree.
He did so the next year — major-
ing in crime in society — and
joined the Baltimore Orioles as a14th-round draft choice.
For six years, Yastrzemski
languished in their farm system,
playing in major league spring
training games but never the
real thing. Traded in March to
the Giants, he found his power in
the minors and earned a promo-
tion in May. He was hitting .266
before Wednesday’s game, and
he is the first Giants rookie with
20 homers since Dave Kingman
in 1972.
“Those pitches where he’s
doing damage now, before hewas just trying to hit liners in the
gap or make solid contact,” said
Giants pitcher Tyler Beede, who
roomed with Yastrzemski at
Vanderbilt. “Now he’s trying to
actually do damage and drive the
ball out of the ballpark. I’m sure
he’s adapted his swing and tried
to add a little launch angle to it,
too.
“But I tell you what, he’s also
one of the most sound defenders
you’ll ever see. There will be fly
balls hit to him and I know it’s
going to be a difficult play, butsometimes I don’t even turn
around because I know he’s
going to catch it.”
Yastrzemski has started at all
three outfield spots, but there
was no question where Manager
Bruce Bochy would put him on
Tuesday. Bochy said Yastrzemski
had impressed him in all areas —
defense, base running, power —
and Corbin, who has 15 former
players in the majors this season,
called him one of the best leaders
he had ever coached.
The major leagues, he said, iswhere Yastrzemski belongs.
“I felt like if he got up there,
he’s going to stay,” Corbin said.
“He’s too good in the clubhouse,
he’s too good on the field, and he
treats every day the same way.
He will never, ever, ever lose his
innocence.”
No matter how the rest of his
story unfolds, the purity of Yas-
trzemski’s moment on Tuesday
— a grandson trotting in royal
family footsteps — will be an
indelible memory on the
sparkling green of old Fenway.A Boston Legend Is Beaming. His Grandson Came to Visit.
From First Sports PageCarl Yastrzemski, who played 23 seasons for the Red Sox, threw the ceremonial first pitch to his grandson, Mike, before Wednesday’s game at Fenway Park.CHARLES KRUPA/ASSOCIATED PRESSDENVER (AP) — Pete Alonso
hit his major league-leading 49th
homer, then drew a bases-loaded
walk during a four-run rally in the
ninth inning
that sent the
Mets over the
Colorado Rock-
ies, 7-4, on Wednesday at Coors
Field.
The Mets ended the day tied
with Philadelphia, three games
behind the Chicago Cubs and the
Milwaukee Brewers for the sec-
ond wild-card spot in the National
League.
“We’re going to grab as many
games as we can and see where
the dust settles,” Alonso said. “We
still have an outside shot.”
Alonso hit a long solo home run
to left field in the sixth, matching
Mark McGwire’s total for his rook-
ie season with Oakland in 1987.
The Yankees’ Aaron Judge has the
major league record for home
runs by a rookie, at 52.
Jeff McNeil also went deep for
the Mets, who set a franchise
record with 225 home runs this
season.
Trailing by 4-3 going into the
ninth, the Mets tied the score on
Brandon Nimmo’s third hit, a run-
scoring single off Jairo Diaz. After
a walk to McNeil loaded the bases,
Joe Harvey relieved and walked
Alonso on four pitches to put the
Mets ahead.
“They don’t want to have to
groove a fastball to him when they
fall behind,” Mets Manager
Mickey Callaway said. “He puts
the fear in guys, and he should be-
cause he’s a great hitter. That al-
lows him to be a little more pa-
tient.”
Another run scored on a double-
play grounder, and Seth Lugo,
who was the winning pitcher, hit a
run-scoring single in his first plate
appearance of the season.“I just didn’t want to look
dumb,” Lugo said. “I was staying
short and see what happens.”
The rookie Sam Hilliard hit two
home runs for the Rockies, con-
necting both times off Noah Syn-
dergaard. Hilliard’s first homer
went an estimated 447 feet to
right-center and his second drive
gave the Rockies a 2-1 lead.
Hilliard was called up on Aug. 27
and homered in his debut that
night.
Syndergaard went five and two-
thirds innings, giving up four runs
on 10 hits and striking out six.
Rene Rivera started at catcher —
Syndergaard recently expressed
his interest in pitching to someone
other than the regular starter Wil-
son Ramos.
Ramos pinch-hit for Rivera and
drew a leadoff walk in the ninth to
begin the Mets’ rally. McNeil hit
his 22nd homer, tagging Jeff Hoff-
man in the first inning.Alonso’s Home Run and Walk Lift the Mets

Few players have represented
the Yankees’ injury-plagued 2019
season quite like the slugger Gian-
carlo Stanton. Before Wednesday,
he had played
in only nine
games because
of a litany of
physical ailments: a left biceps
strain; a balky left shoulder; a
strained calf; and, most recently, a
sprained posterior cruciate liga-
ment in his right knee.
But for the first time since June
25, Yankees Manager Aaron
Boone wrote Stanton’s name into
the lineup — batting fifth and
starting in left field in Wednesday
night’s 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles
Angels. A win would have
clinched the first American
League East title since 2012 for
the Yankees, who still had a
chance to claim the division on
Wednesday if the Dodgers beat
the Tampa Bay Rays in a later
game.
Stanton’s return came at a criti-
cal time. With a week and a half re-
maining in the regular season, he
will finally get an opportunity to
face major league pitching in
preparation for the playoffs,
which the Yankees will most likely
begin in the American League di-
vision rounds on Oct. 4.
And with Mike Tauchman done
for the season, Aaron Hicks un-
likely to return this year and Cam-
eron Maybin playing with a sore
wrist, the Yankees’ outfield des-
perately needs Stanton, a four-
time All-Star and the winner of a
Most Valuable Player Award.
“I’m here now,” Stanton said af-
ter Wednesday’s game. “I’ll use
these games as a tuneup and be
ready for the playoffs.”Because the minor league sea-
son ended this month, Stanton, 29,
has continued his rehabilitation at
the Yankees’ spring training facili-
ty in Tampa, Fla., in recent weeks,
facing minor league pitchers in
the instructional league. He flew
to New York on Tuesday and was
cleared to come off the injured list
after meeting with Boone and the
team’s training staff.
Boone planned to ease Stanton
back into major league action. He
went 1 for 3, including a standup
double in his first at-bat, and
played six innings in the field on
Wednesday. He was expected to
play the entire game on Thursday
as the designated hitter.
“For not being out there for a
few months, I felt good in the box
and moved around pretty well in
the outfield,” Stanton said. “It was
a good start.”
In Tampa, Stanton was able to
do all of his agility, defense and
baserunning work without any
apparent lingering trouble in his
knee, Boone said.
Stanton initially hurt the knee
sliding into third base during agame on June 25.
“I’d like to play as much as I can
to get at-bats, but I’ve still got to
be smart with not being able to go
on a rehab assignment,” Stanton
said.
When healthy, Stanton can be
one of the best power hitters in
baseball. The Yankees acquired
him and the remainder of his 13-
year, $325 million contract after he
hit 59 homers during his National
League M.V.P. campaign with the
Miami Marlins in 2017.INSIDE PITCH
Wednesday’s game was the last
regular-season home start of C. C.
SABATHIA’s career. He is retiring
after this season, his 19th in the
majors, 11 of which were spent
with the Yankees. Sabathia al-
lowed two runs over two and two-
thirds innings and received a
standing ovation when he exited
the game. He tipped his cap to his
family and fans in the stands, and
one by one on the field, his team-
mates hugged him. “That’s what
I’ll miss more, the relationships
with these guys,” Sabathia said.Giancarlo Stanton, above, hit a double on Wednesday in his first
game since June 25. C. C. Sabathia, making the final regular-
season home start of his career, received a standing ovation.
