Carl Yastrzemski wearing an Iowa football shirt

I'm watching Pedro Martinez's number retirement ceremony and Yaz walks out wearing an Iowa football polo under his jacket.

I've tried confirming this but not been able to clearly see the Polo Logo.

Hawkeye Heaven on Facebook has a picture.

Anyone know the reason or connection why Yaz is wearing the hawk logo? does he have a nephew playing for Iowa?

Loved me some Yaz. Love me some Yaz even more now. Thought maybe he had a nephew or something affiliate with Iowa but I could be wrong.

Neat, but it makes no sense. Did he live next door to Brian Ferentz? Did he pick it up off the discount rack at WalMart? Is he the Hawks' OC in waiting?

that's the first thing that crossed my mind: the b. ferentz connection.

Probably has a connection to Hayden. That guy knew, and was friends with, tons of big-time people.

Thanks for the inspiration HawkinGoferLand.......

Smells of either two things here. 1) Gary Barta probably paid him to wear the damn thing. Pullin' out all the stops now. 2) He probably snagged it online from Herky's Lockeroom on a 70% off deal. Everyone could use a white polo for geez sakes.

How cool is that? I mean, that's Carl "Yaz" Yazstremski, for cryin' out loud!

Also, man, Yaz, Jim Rice, Carlton Fisk and Pedro. Them's some ballers.

Yaz is a Ferentz apologist and kool-aid drinker! Stop the insanity, come to your senses, man!

My guess would be Bernie Wyatt. Yaz & Bernie both grew up on Long Island & graduated from high school (different schools) in '57. Yaz was a basketball star & Bernie was a football star. Both set Long Island records.

Interesting, Bernie had the east coast recruiting connections. He may have recruited the harmon brothers.
