Phillies pitcher Pedro Martinez wants to play the Yankees in the World Series.

The Yankees lead the Angels 3-2 in the ALCS with Game 6 scheduled for Sunday night after a rain out on Saturday.

"To have 60,000 people looking at one guy to deliver that ball and all of them chanting 'Pay-dro! Pay-dro!' is a great honor," Martinez told the Associated Press. "To pitch at Yankee Stadium on one of the greatest stages to play on, it's an unbelievable feeling."

Martinez was 8-4 with a 2.95 ERA in 16 regular-season starts at the old Yankee Stadium, but went 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA in two postseason starts in the Bronx as a member of the Red Sox.
