Max Fried-Jack Flaherty face-off will have their high school watching ‘a little bit more intensely’
NY Post
DETROIT — There will be appointment viewing Wednesday morning inside the athletic department office at the Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles.
A few thousand miles away, two of their own will be pitching on the mound against each other.
Max Fried and Jack Flaherty are set to square off in Wednesday’s series finale between the Yankees and Tigers at Comerica Park, and while they have combined to pitch in over 300 big league games, this will be the first time the former high school teammates have started the same game.
“We’ll have a lot of competitive juices going, for sure,” Fried said Tuesday. “It’ll be fun. It’ll be a little friendly competition, but at the end of the day, it’s the same thing.”

The old genius had finally gotten one move ahead of himself. That seemed clear. There were eight games left in the hockey season. The Devils, veteran team, were already inside the bracket, comfortably, on the way to 102 points. They’d been mailing it in lately, more a reflection of the time in the schedule than any lack of talent.
