A-Rod homers in Yankees spring opener (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Back on the field, Alex Rodriguez was able to put aside the steroids scandal. At least for a little while. Booed and taunted by opposing fans in the Yankees' spring training opener, Rodriguez homered and drew two walks Wednesday in a 6-1 exhibition victory over Toronto that was anything but routine. It was his first game since admitting he took performance-enhancing drugs from 2001-03 with Texas.
