been there …

Meridian Community College alumnus Cliff Lee has been given the honor of starting Game 1 of the World Series for Philadelphia on Wednesday night. That’s at Yankee Stadium. Yes, it’s new this year, but it’s still an intimidating place. The ghosts made the move from the old park, so they say. But Lee should feel rather comfortable. After all, the left-hander beat the Yankees in the first game ever played in the new park, back on April 16 when he was pitching for Cleveland. Plus, Lee has been very good this postseason, his first in the big leagues. He’ll face his former Indians teammate CC Sabathia in Game 1, which could be one heck of an opening act.
