Billy Crystal - A Yankee For A Day Today!!

Today Billy Crystal has been signed for a one day outing with the Yankees today for his 60th birthday. Billy has been a long time Yankee fan - since he was a little boy. He has been good friends with Torre for years also - a friend to the team for years. He's had special access to the games and players for years.

So as a result of this great relationship he has with the team - he has been allowed to play in a spring training game today. I'm disappointed that he's only going to get one at bat as DH (designated Hebrew - as Billy put it lol). What if he strikes out? That would suck. He should be allowed to get on base and do some strategic base running. That would the true fulfillment of a dream. I also wish the game was a night game so I could watch it live. But thank God for Youtube.com - I'm sure soimeobdy will post it.

I saw some film of Billy's batting practice and he actually looked very good! Despite what blog picture may imply. lol Here's an article about all of this if you're interested in reading....

Here is a video from youtube.com that was filmed during practice - it's got some funny bits as being funny just comes naturally to Billy. He said he had to submit to a urine test and might test positive for malox. lol
