Mike Yastrzemski gave us the best pre-All-Star gift: A walk-off Little League home run
This might be one of the weirder walk-offs you’ll ever see, but hey, it’s the MLB All-Star break, and this needs to be celebrated as we take a breath in the middle of a fun 2024 season.
San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski stepped up to the plate in a 2-2 tie with the Minnesota Twins and the always-threatening Jhoan Duran on the mound. He hit a ball that got past Manuel Margot in center … and it was off to the races.
Yastrzemski dug in and got to third standing up, but the throw went into the Giants’ dugout, which meant he was allowed to advance to home.
WALK-OFF LITTLE LEAGUE HOME RUN! WHEEE!
