A pure moment right there and thank you, Yaz.

[recluse]

Hope Mike has a long career and can stretch it to his 40s. His rookie season in majors was when he already turned 28. Also he is a stud.

I saw Mike at a Giants AAA game a few years ago here in Sacramento, took a picture of the jumbotrom when he was at bat to send to my parents to send to my parents so they could see who was coming up. I still have the picture on my phone.

Fast forward to a Giants game a last year and I was sitting several rows deep but above him in rightfield. I hollered down to him 2 or 3 times, "I SAW YOU IN SACRAMENTO!", sure that he couldn't hear me. But then he threw a threw a "tossing the ball around between innings" ball to me. 😁

Two generations, two different teams, two legends.

Love yaz seen him in 67 the greatest baseball player 🙏❤️

[audieconrad]

For those of us who followed Yaz's pursuit of the Triple Crown in '67...forever legend.

Even us Tigers fans back in the day loved Yaz we would imitate his batting stance when playing wiffle ball 🐯⚾ salute Yaz 🍷👍 would be so cool if Mike ( Yaz ) could play for Boston some day. You know he wants to & so do the Boston fans!

[hushpuckena]

Some things never change: Yaz was a class act when I started watching him play as early as 1974, then when I got to see him live his last two seasons.

[LIBREPUB]

As a Giants fan who definitely pulls for the Red Sox in the Boston/NY rivalry. This was awesome. Fenway is so cool.

[celticpipes]

Yaz was the player that I patterned my batting stance after, and it really helped me with my hitting.

[morcatna]

Appreciate Boston fans for cheering for Mike too!

[jmentone]

Now Mike has to get his card picture with honking sideburns like Carl did.

[rsuriyop]

Flashbacks of Field of Dreams right there 😭

[laff]

Yaz a class act and true gentleman. that's why I named my golden retriever after him.

[erics]

I dedicate this to my father his idol!

[oriolesfan]

Just watched on NESN. I didn't know this was four years ago. I thought it was this season - 2023.

[zeppelinmexicano]

What Yaz did in 67 was almost too unbelievable to be true. Clutch, clutch, clutch. People forget how good he was defensively too. Look at the catch to save Billy Rohr's no hitter. You won't find a better catch by a left fielder, any time, any place.

[David-jgb]

Walk him on any field, any day.
Best player on the field!

[itsnotme]

The only thing I didn't like about this video was the score. Wicked nice on everything else!!
