Former UCLA Bruins pitcher Gerrit Cole got the honor to start Game 1 of the World Series between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers.
It was quite the moment for Cole, especially since he played college baseball with the UCLA Bruins.
On top of that, he pitched well, giving up just one run and four hits in six innings. Unfortunately, Freddie Freeman’s walk-off grand slam sealed the deal and gave the Dodgers the 6-3 win in extra innings.
Still, it was a positive outing for Cole, who might have another outing in store in the World Series if the Yankees can win some games. Here are the best photos of Cole from Game 1.
