Lil Bit Special Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 http://deadspin.com/5309964/that-last-name-never-gets-easier-to-spell Last month, the Red Sox took young Michael Yastrzemski, grandson of Carl, in the 36th round of MLB's First-Year Player draft. The 18-year-old outfielder committed to Vanderbilt University, although he did hint that the chance to play for his grandfather's old team could change his mind. But since the Red Sox organization seems to have forgotten how to spell one of the most revered last names in team history, perhaps Vanderbilt's a better fit right now. Y-A-S-T-R-Z-E-M-S-K-I.

Guido Monzino Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Probably so. Great player. I have seen Yaz play and I could not spell his name. I bet if Yaz had played for the Yankees, he would have gotten enough attention in Boston that everyone would know how to spell his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
