"New York baseball, especially when I was growing up, it's the Mecca, pinnacle, of the baseball sports world," said the 29-year-old, who will face off against Yankees All-Star Nestor Cortes."My whole life I grew up watching the Yankees, Red Sox, all of those great rivalries and those great teams, so I'm very excited. This will be my second postseason start in New York. I've pitched here a couple other times. I've always enjoyed it.
A member of the New York media asked McCullers to retell that story before Game 3. McCullers gladly went through the details of landing awkwardly after a pitch and feeling pain in his left hip.
