OAKLAND -- On June 5, 2008, the New York Yankees used their fourth-round draft pick to select a 19-year-old infielder from Tennessee named Corban Joseph.
Now, more than 11 years later, Joseph's career comes full circle as he faces those same Yankees as a member of the Oakland A's.
"It's pretty cool to be on the other side," Joseph told NBC Sports California. "I know a lot of people over there. It will be good to catch up with them."
Joseph's professional career hasn't gone exactly as he had planned. He made his major-league debut with the Yankees in 2013, but only got to play in two games, a double-header against the Indians.
