Yankees Look To Stomp on Bucs

Yankees @ Pirates

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 7:05.

For the first time since Bill Mazarowski broke the hearts of Yankee fans with a game winnning homerun in the 1960 World Series, the Yanks will make a trip to the Steel City.

The Bombers were eating up the NL, sweeping away the Astros and Padres, but lost two of three to the Cincinnati Reds; they will look to rebound against the lowly Pirates, who are considering trading their two best offensive stars, Xavier Nady and Jason Bay, inspite of being only three games under .500 (36-39).

The last time these two versions of the Pirates and Yankees played was in spring training when Actor/Comedian Billy Crystal took his hacks against righty Paul Malhom. Crystal will not play in this series, which is not good news for Pittsburgh.
