Yankees-Pirates, top of first

Wonder if Pirates starter Paul Maholm is as nervous facing Melky Cabrera as he was going up against Billy Crystal in Tampa 10 days ago.
Maybe he should have been. Cabrera crushed the first pitch to deep left, but Jason Bay made the catch on the warning track.
Caught part of a documentary on Showtime this morning about Hall of Fame slugger Hank Greenberg, who led the Tigers to four pennants and two world titles in a 12-year span from 1934-45.
Third baseman Jose Bautista made a superb play on a slow roller by Robinson Cano. Bautista fielded it bare-handed and gunned a throw to Adam LaRoche to nip Cano by an eyelash.
News flash: A hard-hit ball by Hideki Matsui got past LaRoche at first. The normally sure-handed first sacker was charged with an error, his first of the spring.
The Greenberg show dealt in part with the discrimination he faced as the game's most prominent Jewish player. After serving in World War II, according to the documentary, Greenberg expressed his belief organized religion served more to divide people than bring them together.
Food for thought during turbulent times.
