The victims of last April's Virginia Tech tragedy won't have the luxury of washing away memories, wiping slates clean or enjoying any other mental comfort that baseball teams find every spring. Their hurt can't be reversed. ...
The Yankees will play a Spring Training game against the Virginia Tech baseball team, traveling to Blacksburg, Va., to honor the university -- less than a month before the first anniversary of the deadliest mass shooting in modern United States history.
