City Slickers was a sweet movie. City Slickers 2: The Legend of Curly's Gold, was even better. But this, this is just plain stupid....
Billy Crystal to don Yankees pinstripes
TAMPA, Fla. - Billy Crystal will get to "look mahvelous" in pinstripes. The actor will sign a one-day, minor league contract with the New York Yankees and play in Thursday's exhibition game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
witty opening line.
"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."
Funny? You be the judge....
Crystal, according to the Yankees hit .348 and was captain during his senior year at Long Beach High School in New York. He directed and produced "61 ," a move about Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle and the 1961 Yankees.
Well, at least he has all the qualifications to take up a roster spot.....
Yankees manager Joe Girardi, after Monday night's 4-0 win over Cincinnati, said he hasn't determined what position Crystal will play.
"That remains to be seen," Girardi said. "Obviously, it's kind of exciting. Billy Crystal has done a lot for this organization. He's always been a big part of it. Our way of rewarding him, saying thanks for everything that you've done."

I hope Matt Capps hits him in the head with a 90mph fastball.........brutal?
To combat the recent signing of Crystal, the Pirates signed Michael Keaton to a minor league contract. GM Neal Hunington has not ruled out the possibility that Mr. Mom could make the team out of spring training.....
