The comedian was put in the top spot for Thursday’s exhibition game, listed as the designated hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Wearing No. 60, Crystal got his chance a day before his 60th birthday. A lifelong Yankees fan, the righty was set to face Pirates left-hander Paul Maholm. I think that this is awesome! This is what spring training is all about…its time to have fun and let Billy Crystal leadoff and hit a dinger! Now that would have been much sweeter!

Johnny Damon will take over later in the game for Crystal but still let him get a couple at bats in there. Now if I was the Pirates pitcher I think that I would throw way behind Crystal just to shake him up a little bit…but its all in good fun. This is much better then what the Yankees and D-Rays did yesterday, that was just stupid. But I hope Billy gets a hit or at least makes contact with the ball because I dont think that he will see many curve balls. Or will he!
