PITTSBURGH – Start at PNC Park, take a short trip across the Fort Duquesne Bridge, go through the Fort Pitt Tunnel and you’ll end up in the Mount Washington section of town. That’s where Derek Law grew up.
He attended many games here as a kid, mostly drawn by the stars on the visiting teams because the Pirates were terrible. He even took the mound here once in a summer league game, although he had to warm up on flat ground. The bullpens were off limits.

Now a major league rookie, Law stood on that mound again Wednesday.
