As New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe prepares to play in his first World Series in just his second MLB season, his father Michael posted quite the memory on Instagram to get fans pumped up.
Volpe is a New York native and grew up as a Yankees fan, and he happened to be present at the team’s last World Series parade in 2009.
The shortstop was eight years old in the picture his dad posted of him standing in the first row watching the Yankees celebrate their 27th World Series title.
His dad captioned the photo “2009 World Series parade. 4 more wins!!”
Volpe could be present at this year’s World Series parade, but this time on a bus with the rest of his teammates instead of standing as a fan in the crowd. Talk about a (potential) full circle moment.
The Yankees will play the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2024 World Series beginning on Friday, Oct. 25 in California.
