I heard Billy Crystal is working out with the Yankees this spring and going to take a few cuts in a game or to. I remeber a few years ago when Garth Brooks worked with San Deigo.

Any thoughts on this?

If the Yankees want to take at-bats that could be used to help evaluate legitimate prospects and waste them on an over-the-hill comedian, I'm all for it. I hope he plays every day.

This is insane, I saw it yesterday I guess as a long time fan he deserves the right if Hank and Hal and Cashman can go along with it

If the Padres can give Garth Brooks AB's, the Yankees can certainly let Billy Crystal take a few swings.

I really don't see what the big deal is. It's not like some kid is going to miss out on getting into the majors because Billy Crystal got an at bat.

My reasoning was similar to what was said this a.m. on Mike and Mike.

Pre season baseball is too long and this adds a little entertainment. It is already a relaxed atmosphere so I guess, why the hell not. Let em' take his cuts, get his name on a jersey, and feel cool. If I were famous, I might do the same kinda stuff.

Does anyone think this is just a huge distraction?

I really don't see the problem of letting him get an AB or two over some AAAA fillers.

Could you imagine if he would have got plunked. He could have been participating in another bench clearing brawl:)
