CC Excited to Open the New Stadium

From Bryan Hoch:
"I'm excited to be able to take the ball the first game of the season and to open up the Stadium," Sabathia said. "It's going to be a lot of fun."

"I think everybody knows what the Yankee history is," Sabathia said. "You played at the Stadium and they've got the 'Yankeeography' playing, and all the championships. Coming in, I was getting a feel for it, seeing all the old players around and talking to some of these guys. You have no choice but to embrace it and go out to be a part of something new."

"It's all anybody is talking about in the sports world, period," Sabathia said, "different athletes that are my friends and guys that I know around my hometown, and everywhere. To be able to be the guy that takes that ball is going to be fun."
Also in the article it says that Sabathia's wife, Amber, and their three children will be on hand in the Bronx for the game.
