    What the author missed was that Yastrzemski grew up on an onion farm....

  2. Larry R. Says:

    It was a potato farm, but it's still a good story.

  3. Frank Clingenpeel Says:

    Am I remembering wrongly, or did Yaz stop signing autographs for a while there, because of all of the hassle it was causing? I think that happened right after either he or Conigliaro was -- falsely, I believe it turned out -- accused of fondling a stewardess or something.

  4. Frank Clingenpeel Says:

    And, as a farmer of some experience {omg! I almost said "old farmer"!}, I always grew my potatoes and onions in adjoining fields. Maybe Yastrzemski's father and I had that in common.

    As a potato and onion man....

    Yaz was my hero. I knew it was potatoes, anf that onions would be nearby.

    These days it is a mcmansion I guarantee
