Well, the 2013 MLB regular season is over & if you'd have told me six months ago that the Red Sox would not only make the postseason, but have the best record in the American League, I'd have called you a dreamer. But here we are & that's exactly where we stand going from worst to first just like they did back when Carl & the '67 Sox had their Impossible Dream season. Of course, sitting right across from them in the National League with the exact same record is the St. Louis Cardinals, ...

This was a very big month for not only my collection but for being a Yastrzemski fan as well! Michael was named Minor League Offensive Player of the Month for the Orioles organization & was selected for the 2013 New York-Penn All-Star Game! At the time of this writing his Aberdeen Ironbirds sit a half game up of Brooklyn for the lead in their division. I so wish that I lived closer to be able to attend some games. On September 3rd, the first 873 fans to Ripken Field will receive a Mike Yastrzemski ...

Well, this month certainly had more than it's fair share of ups & downs! It started off on a good note, as Michael started his career with the Aberdeen Ironbirds. In his first 29 games, he is batting .337, with 2 HR, 12 RBI & 4 SB.

Well, June sure had it's share of ups & downs to end Michael's college career. It started off really nice with him not only winning Vanderbilt's Student/Athlete of the Month award, but he was also named MVP of the Nashville Regionals! It continued to improve when he was selected by the Orioles in the 14th round of the 2013 MLB draft. As they say, "All good things must come to an end" though, & the Commodores were knocked out of the Super-Regionals by Louisville, which ended ...

May was an exciting month to be a Yastrzemski fan! Vanderbilt's regular season came to a close this month, but not before the Commodores achieved not only their best record in school history (48-7), but they also set a new SEC wins record by going 26-3. Michael led the team in the SEC games this season batting .407 (.333 - for the season). He also joined fellow teammate, Tony Kemp, by being selected to the All-SEC first team & All-Defensive team. Here's hoping that they can win it all in ...
