BRADENTON, Fla. — There are times when what goes down on the field, court or ice takes a back seat.
Saturday at LECOM Park, Danny Farquhar found himself in that odd scenario in an exhibition game against the Pirates when he ran in from the bullpen for his first action since suffering a brain hemorrhage during a game last April when he was with the White Sox.
Signed to a minor league contract this offseason by the Yankees, the 32-year-old right-hander retired one of the six batters he faced, gave up five runs, three hits and walked two in a third of an inning.
