A dream come true for Billy Crystal
Billy Crystal will sign a one-day, minor league contract with the Yankees and play against the Pittsburgh Pirates Thursday’s exhibition game.
“I’ve been waiting 50 years for this call,” Crystal said in a statement released by the team. “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, which by the way is all of them. Oops, I have to go, Scott Boras is on the phone.”

does anyone know – can the average Joe “buy”/sign a contract to play a day with the Yankee’s??? Father’s Day is coming and that would be the ultimate gift!
