The long journey to Opening Day at Yankee Stadium is finally over. We will have baseball this afternoon in the Bronx, and with the Red Sox in town for the inaugural game of 2022, it’s quite a spicy matchup. Gerrit Cole and Nathan Eovaldi will have a rematch of their 2021 AL Wild Card Game showdown. The Yankees’ ace will seek to prove that this time, he’s now healthy and quite capable of avenging that deflating loss.
Fans who followed the Yankees’ 2021 campaign though know that the offense will likely face even more pressure.
