Delehantys. Five of them. Ed was the star. Drunkenly jumped into Niagara falls (I think) and drowned. Don't know the names of the other four.

There are lots of two generation families in MLB (the Bonds, Griffeys, Alous, Alomars, Fielders, Guerreros, etc.) but there are only five three generation MLB families. Who are they?

Not looking, so I'm going to guess on one: the Boones?
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)

The Bells (Gus, Buddy, David, and Mike) and the Boones (Ray, Bob, Bret, and Aaron) are both correct. In fact, the Boones may become the first four generation MLB family. Bret Boone's son, Jake was expected to be chosen in the 2020 MLB Draft before it was condensed to five rounds and thus he returned to Princeton for his senior season.
Three left.

Did Carl Yastrzemski's son play MLB? I know his grandson Mike does. Or maybe Carl's dad or granddad played?

Yes, Joe Coleman Jr. had a son Casey who played from 2010 to 2014 for the Cubs and Royals. He has a lifetime 8-13 record with a 5.72 ERA and 123 strikeouts. The Colemans ((Joe, Joe Jr., and Casey), a the third three-generation family in MLB.
There is probably a third Trout, but not one in MLB. Two left.

As I mentioned, there have been five three-generation MLB families. There has also been one great-grandfather/great-grandson pair. Who were they?

Looked it up. One is not your normal lineal relationship. Interesting, especially as the youngest's stepdad and uncle played in the majors. . . .
Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.

Looked it up as well. Could be on the verge of two FOUR generation families.
