Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Yankees
7:57 PM ET, October 28, 2009
Yankee Stadium, New York, NY
World Series 2009 - Game #1
Major League Baseball 2009
NEW YORK (AP) -- The first time they met was seven years ago. Cliff Lee was a September call-up with a cocksure attitude, and his new teammate was immediately impressed.
"He was the Cliff that he is now. He went out and pounded both sides of the plate, attacking, real aggressive in the strike zone," CC Sabathia said Tuesday. "He goes right after you."
Lee lost his major league debut that day for Cleveland, despite pitching well against Minnesota. The two pitchers soon struck up a friendship, however, and it's still going strong.
Now, the left-handed aces are set to square off in the World Series opener Wednesday night. Both traded by the Indians within the past two years, Lee will start for the Philadelphia Phillies against Sabathia and the New York Yankees.
