Billy Crystal Signs One-Day Contract with New York Yankees

Yeah, you read that right.

That Billy Crystal.

Those Yankees.

The New York Yankees have signed Crystal to a one-day minor league contract, and he’ll play in Thursday’s exhibition game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

He’ll wear the number 60, as the game will take place a day before his 60th birthday.

“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.”




* I imagine that most of the readers of this blog will, much like me, not understand what’s funny about that. Scott Boras, it turns out, is some hot-spot sports agent that reps a bunch of hot-shot baseball players. Ha ha.

    Scott Boras is hated by all team gm’s. He is A-Rod & Kenny Rodgers agent. This Billy guy better not fuck up my Yankee clubhouse chemistry with his corny jokes.
