Did u ever have a lifelong dream to play for your favorite major league baseball team who you have watched your entire life? Well Billy Crystal did, and now hes playing for them. Crystal signed a one-day contract to play with the Yankees before playing in a 2008 Grapfruit League game against the Pirates.Crystal was the third person in the clubhouse to be wearing the number 60 jersey. The number also belongs to special pitching instructor Rich Monteleone and young infielder Cody Ransom, who will switch to number 67 for the pirates game. Crystal says he does not want to step on anyones toes, but i mean it's still a bit strange when you think about it. You have an actor/comedian stepping in and giving baseball a shot for one of the most popular baseball teams out there. For all we know this could be a midlife crisis issue..instead of buying a new porsche or ferrari, Crystal decides he wants to get a hug from jason giambi and brush up on his baseball skills. Crystal is going on 60 and actually doesn't look half bad out there. The whole thought of it is still a little strange to me, I mean next thing you know jay leno may wake up tommorow and decide he wants to shoot hoops for the New York Knicks, anything is possible in today's society right?
