The first game of the World Series starts on Friday between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees.

Both teams have had a few days off to prepare for the biggest series of the year.

The Yankees are looking for their first World Series title since 2009, while the Dodgers are looking for their first title since 2020.

Baseball fans around the world are probably excited about the start of the World Series, and even Yankees legend CC Sabathia had something to say about it.

“It feels like Christmas morning,” Sabathia said.

Sabathia played 19 seasons in the MLB, 11 of which were for the Yankees.

He came to the Yankees in 2009 and won a World Series title in his first season with the team after posting a record of 19 wins and eight losses in the regular season.

Sabathia was the 2009 American League Championship Series Most Valuable Player against the Los Angeles Angels.

In the 2009 ALCS, he had a record of two wins and zero losses while pitching 16 innings, allowing two earned runs and striking out twelve.

Many baseball fans likely feel the same way about Sabathia’s statement as the start of the World Series approaches.

The Yankees will start their ace Gerrit Cole in game one, and he will face Jack Flaherty of the Dodgers.

Although Flaherty appears to be the ace for the Dodgers, the New York Mets picked him up in his last appearance, where he allowed eight earned runs in three innings pitched.

It will be interesting to see if the offenses or the pitchers shine in the first game.
