Anthony Volpe played at Fenway Park for the initial time as a pro baseball player Friday night in the opener of a three-game series vs. the Red Sox.
BOSTON — In a season of firsts for Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe, the rookie played at Fenway Park for the initial time as a professional baseball player Friday night in the opener of a three-game series against the Red Sox.
Still, it was not the first time manning the Fenway diamond for the New Jersey product and childhood Yankees fan. A few years earlier, Volpe had played in the iconic Beantown stadium with an All-Star squad of players from around the northeast. “I’ve never seen a [major league] game here, so I’m excited for my first time here this year [with the Yankees],” Volpe told The Post before the. “In high school, we got to play a game here that the scouts put on, like a showcase game, it was obviously so surreal for all of us. A lot of northeast and tri-state area guys, so we loved every second of it.
“That’s the only other time I’ve ever been here before, so I’m pumped. Just this whole week we’ve had — playing them [Boston] last weekend [at the Stadium], then playing the Subway Series [against the Mets], and now up here — it’s definitely pretty cool for me.”
