…..rich and funny probably doesn’t hurt either.

Billy Crystal signed a one-day contract with the Yankees. He has been working out with the team and taking batting practice, but today was his big day. He was the DH and led off the game for the Yankees. Ultimately, he struck out, but he managed to get to a full count and even made solid contact with the second pitch. The pitcher was looking pretty nervous when the count got to 3-1. A moral victory in my book, and even more impressive considering he is 35 years older than the pitcher and hasn’t played organized baseball since high school.

So now Didion has two paths to playing for the Yankees.
