PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Yankees had better be quick studies.
The two teams, separated by less than 400 miles, don't get to see one another very often. They've played just 13 regular-season games in the history of the two franchises to go along with splitting 1927 and 1960 World Series.
That is ancient history when it comes to this year's squads, but even the teams' recent history doesn't mean much. When the teams last met in Pittsburgh in 2008, Jameson Taillon, the Pirates' starter on Saturday, was a sophomore in high school.
