Just in case you wondered how seriously teams take Spring Training games, the Yankees are allowing Billy Crystal to don the pinstripes and take some part in their game today against the Pirates. It’s even made the BBC website.
Less-charitable people than I might suggest that a sixty-year old comedian has a shot at earning a place on Pittsburgh’s roster.Â
You can watch this ‘event’ on MLB.tv, with first pitch scheduled for 17.15 (I’m guessing Crystal will probably just get one inning).
There are two other early games on MLB.tv today, as the Braves play the Tigers and the Dodgers face the Astros. Both start at 17.05.
