It's been a season of firsts for New York Yankees rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe.
He played in his first major league spring training. He made his first Opening Day lineup at 21 -- the youngest Yankee to start in an opener since Derek Jeter. He got his first MLB hits, a pair of singles in his second big league game.
Next up: Finally getting the best of Aaron Judge at FIFA 23.
A budding interest in soccer amplified after Volpe watched the World Cup which was played in November and December to avoid the summer temperatures in the host nation of Qatar.
