Yankees Daily

Today is the big day for Billy Crystal and his dream. I was listening to Mike and the Mad Dog Russo on the Yes Network and they brought up the point about why does Crystal give so much support to the Yankees when he owns 10 percent of the Arizona Diamondbacks? My guess would be that there was no chance to own any part of the Yankees and he probably wanted a stake in a baseball team because he loves baseball so much. Owning part of the Diamondbacks is probably a business opportunity as well. To the game…

The New York Yankees will try to win their 7th game of pre-season when they take on the Pittsburgh Piurates at Legends Field in Tampa, Fla., 1:15 PM Eastern Time. Mike Mussina of the New York Yankees will go up against lefty Paul Maholm of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Mike Mussina will try to make up for his average outing the last time out and this will be comedian Billy Crystal’s debut as a professional baseball player.
