3000 hits, 400 home runs

A beautifully written essay by my brother. Being a Red Sox fan is wrapped up in being a member of my family – the two cannot be unwoven. Brendan captures what this really means. I have heard this story a million times (Uncle Jimmy was my godfather, and we all still miss him very much) and it never ever gets old. It’s a baseball story, yes, a story of Carl Yastrzemski, but mostly it’s the story of Us. Our family.
