NEW YORK -- The excitement around opening day is even more intense for one New Jersey family.
Anthony Volpe, a Watchung native, will be in the Yankees' starting lineup against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday.
The moment Volpe got the call-u has warmed the hearts of millions. The Yankees posted video of Volpe being told by manager Aaron Boone he had made the big league roster.
"I thought it was pretty cool. The other part of me said, man, that's pretty cruel," said Bruce Shatel, who coached Volpe at the Delbarton School.
