Pirates-Yankees, bottom of first

Tom Gorzelanny is the Pirates' starter. The left-hander is 0-1 with an 8.74 ERA, two strikeouts and five walks in 11 1/3 innings.
Derek Jeter livened up the home crowd by slamming a 1-0 breaking pitch from Gorzelanny over the left-field wall of George M. Steinbrenner Field for his first spring-training home run. It's 2-1, Pirates.
Gorzelanny has a 3-2 count against Alex Rodriguez, who I guess has been implicated by Jose Canseco in the ongoing steroids mess. A-Rod strikes out, preventing me from lamenting the sorry state of affairs plaguing the national past-its-prime.
