was just 43.
“I’m sure he was looking down on
him,” said Yaz. “They were close — very,
very close.”
On his father’s birthday, Aug. 16,
young Mike Yastrzemski had his best
day, hitting three home runs, including
the game-winner, against the Arizona
Diamondbacks.
The Andover native also feels there
was some divine intervention at Fenway.
“For sure,” he said. “Having my dad
and grandfather and great-grandfather
watching over me definitely had some-
thing to do with it.”
But he’s definitely his own man.
When the Giants called him up, they of-
fered Mike No. 8, but he turned it down.
He chose No. 5.
“If you want to call it superstition,
you can, but it just felt right,” he said. “I
wore 5 in Sacramento and it worked out
pretty well for me.”
On Tuesday morning, Yaz came to
Fenway hours before batting practice to
show his support for Mike. He made it
clear he wasn’t going to stay for the
game, though.
He almost never does. After playing
in more baseball games for one team
than anybody else in baseball history, he
likes to watch on the big screen in the
comfort of his own home, with his wife,
two dogs, and two cats. (There are also
two horses.)
Yaz says he can see pitch location bet-
ter on TV. Plus, the last time he had at-
tended one of Mike’s games, he thought
his grandson was pressing too much be-
cause of it.
On Tuesday, Yaz walked the outfield
in front of the Green Monster with his
grandson, and warned him about the
caroms being different off the score-
board than off the wall above it. He gave
Mike a hug and beat the traffic home.
Mike, who was in the lineup batting
leadoff and playing left field, remained
serene and calm. When asked who
would be more nervous — him or his fa-
mous grandfather — he didn’t hesitate.
“Him, for sure,” he said. “I’m just go-
ing to have fun. This is the greatest
thing ever.”
Tyler Beede, a Giants pitcher from
Worcester who was Mike Yastrzemski’s
roommate at Vanderbilt, said the play-
ers were abuzz in the dugout before the
game.
“Everyone said he was going to hit
his 20th home run tonight,” said Beede.
“He was locked in. He was all business.”
Mike said he felt the love of Red Sox
Nation all night long. But he didn’t hear
from his grandfather after the game.
uYASTRZEMSKIS
Continued from Page C1
“No, I’m sure he was sleeping,” he
said. “I think he stayed up, but the sec-
ond the game was over, he was out cold.”
On Wednesday, Yaz agreed to throw
out the first pitch to his grandson. Mike
was thrilled.
“It’s definitely something I’ll remem-
ber forever,” he said. “Has an opposing
player ever caught a first pitch before?”
He also gently needled his 80-year-
old grandfather.
“I told him not to short-hop it,” said
Mike. “He said, ‘I’ll probably throw it
over your head.’ ’’
Just before game time, Yaz came out
of the Red Sox dugout with his game
face on. He went to the mound and
threw a high-arcing strike, perfectly
framed by his grandson.
Then Yaz joined family and friends in
a packed fifth-floor suite overlooking the
Green Monster. Even Jaxon McCarthy,
Yaz’s 6-month-old great-grandson, was
in attendance, nibbling on a hot dog.
Yaz was in good spirits, even though
he missed Mike’s first at-bat.
“Yeah, it took me a while to get up
here,” he said with a grin. “I had to ice
my elbow.”
Yaz watched his grandson ground
out to second base in the second inning,
then he hugged family and friends and
walked arm in arm with Nancy to the
parking lot.
“I’d rather watch it on TV,” he said.
At 8:05 p.m., after stopping to sign a
couple of Yaz T-shirts for fans, he got in-
to a chauffeur-driven SUV with tinted
windows, motor already running, and
headed home, presumably in time to see
his grandson’s RBI single in the ninth
inning.

Ya s t r z e m s k i s
had a grand time
By James Wagner
THE NEW YORK TIMES
Domingo German, one of the New
York Yankees’ top starting pitchers this
season, was placed on administrative
leave Thursday under the domestic vio-
lence policy of MLB and the players’
union, the league office announced.
MLB did not detail the circumstances
that had led to the investigation but said
in a statement that it had started one
and would not comment further until it
was complete.
German, 27, has been one of the Yan-
kees’ most consistent starters this sea-
son, with an 18-4 record and a 4.03 ERA
in 27 appearances. The announcement
came less than 24 hours after German
pitched, out of the bullpen, for the Yan-
kees on Wednesday night. He was ex-
pected to be a part of the Yankees’ post-
season roster, but his immediate future
with the team is now unclear.
Under the policy, German will be on
leave for seven days, though that period
canbeextendedbyMLB.TheYankees
have nine games left in their regular sea-
son.
The Yankees acknowledged German’s
placement on administrative leave,
which means the pitcher still receives
pay but cannot play. “We fully support all
measures being undertaken by the com-
missioner’s office pursuant to the policy
on domestic violence,” the team said in a
statement. “We support this policy
which reinforces that domestic violence
has no place in our society and cannot be
tolerated.”
German, who was born in San Pedro
de Macoris, Dominican Republic, was
signed by the Miami Marlins in 2009 and
joined the Yankees via a trade in 2014.
He made his major league debut in 2017
as a reliever and became a starter for the
2018 season.
