PREGAME: World Series Fever!

BOSTON -- Unlike 2004, this World Series has a different feel to it for some reason.

Fenway Park was a madhouse three seasons ago for Game One of the series against the St. Louis Cardinals. The day of that game on Oct. 23, 2004, fans spent all day around Fenway, but today is different.

It's actually kind of quiet outside the ballpark, but no doubt things will begin to pick up around here once it gets closer to first pitch, which is scheduled for 8:35.

Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski, who won Baseball’s Triple Crown and the American League Most Valuable Award in 1967, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to Game One tonight.
