You just need to care about a hometown hero.
Ben Casparius — the 2017 Staples High School graduate who has had a storybook season since being called up to the major leagues in August — will start Game 4, for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
They lead the New York Yankees, 3 games to 0. Casparius — who has already achieved more in Major League Baseball than any former Wrecker — can help the Dodgers win it all.
Two “minor” points: It’s his first-ever major league start. His previous appearances have all been in relief.
And this will be his first time on the mound in the World Series.
Game time is 8 p.m., on Fox.
Ben Caparius, with the National League Championship Series trophy. Will he win an even more important one tonight?
