Billy Crystal: Yankees Sign 60-year-old 1-Tool Player (For A Day)
I believe we've found out why the Yankees organization had their collective panties in a bundle this weekend, accusing the Tampa Bay Rays of taking the spring games too seriously. It's because they aren't taking this seriously at all.

With Bud Selig's blessing, likely while asleep at his desk, the New York Yankees will sign Billy Crystal Thursday to play with the team for one day. I wish I were joking.

Crystal will sign the contract on Wednesday and work out with the Yankees at Legends Field before playing in the club's game on Thursday against the Pirates in Tampa. Commissioner Bud Selig approved the Yankees' extension of a contract to Crystal.


"I've been waiting 50 years for this call," Crystal said. "I'm overwhelmed by the generosity of the Yankees and Commissioner Selig. I know this'll be tougher than the Broadway Softball League, but I'm looking forward to helping the younger players -- by the way, which is all of them."
As you wish.

It's unknown whether Crystal will take an official at bat, but it is against the Pirates. He wouldn't be the worst hitter at the ballpark. Chances are high he'd take some pitcher numbered 79 deep the right center infield.

p.s. This is really lame. I hope the Pirates file a complaint about the Yankees not taking Spring Training seriously enough.
