Billy Crystal Hits Home Run In Yankee Debut!

Well, at least he hit one down the first base line. Foul. At least he connected against major league pitching! That's more than a lot of 20-year olds can do...much less someone nearing 60.

Sure, it is a publicity stunt by the Yankees, but who can give them a hard time about letting a good guy like Crystal make a dream come true? Have some fun, life a little: life isn't always so serious. We all can use the chance to just enjoy what is in front of us...a game, a dream, the crack of the bat and some roasted peanuts.

Ahh...the love of a game and the chance to just enjoy it. Spring Training is something special, isn't it?

I heard about this yesterday. You have to love Billy Crystal. Good for him!

Jason - thanks for stopping by. Crystal's got a certified, gold-plated memory to cherish, huh?

billy got to play out his dream. Kinda cool to see.

Major League Baseball is an entertainment industry. I see nothing wrong with what transpired as it was during a meaningless spring training game. Billy did a great job too, especially considering his age. And the fans ate it up. To me, this is a good moment for baseball, something it really needs - with all of the other nonsense going on.

Kent, this is truly a great story for baseball. I have heard a lot about this moment and wish that I could have seen it as it happened.

Colton, Jim, Danny - Bingo: Proof that good things can happen in sport. Thanks for commenting.

Kent, I think this is great, thanks for the video. I know some feel it's not right for celebrities to take part in baseball, but I'm sure most guys would jump at the chance, heck I would!
