Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels will start against Yankees lefty Andy Pettitte in Saturday night's Game 3 of the World Series.
Hamels, 25, looked up to Pettitte, 37, as a kid.
"Andy Pettitte and Tom Glavine, those were the guys I emulated growing up when I was a little kid," Hamels told Yahoo! Sports. "They were always in the playoffs. I always got to watch them. They always pitched big games and they won.
"Pettitte has been very effective for a long time, and he's always the kind of guy I've looked at and hoped to be one day in his shoes. Now I'm here and I'm going to be able to face him in the World Series and he's on the Yankees again. So it's just kind of a big game."
