After all the home runs — 15 between the two games — it was a high pop fly from the Padres first baseman into shallow center field that did in Yastrzemski and the Giants.Yastrzemski, who earlier had already crashed into the chainlink fence in center field, charged hard as the shifting winds held the ball in the air. He launched himself into a dive and appeared to connect his outstretched leather with rawhide, but the ball bounced out. Yastrzemski laid face...
