Yankees Editorial: Slade Heathcott Soaks In First MLB Start

Though the New York Yankees lost to the Texas Rangers in a tough 10-9 loss to start Memorial Day Weekend, but there was something to be happy about, for the fans, and for a specific player. With Jacoby Ellsbury on the 15-Day DL, Slade Heathcott was called up to take his place. His first action for the team was the game before in which he came on to pinch run, but he made his first full start the next day and it was all more memorable.
