Welcome to Livlife. Where I am living my life out loud, for all to read.

I just saw a funny story. The New York Yankees, one of the great demons of baseball, have just signed a new player to the team.

 

Billy Crystal.

 

Nope. Not kidding. Billy Crystal has signed a one-day contract with the Yankees to play with their minor league club. The contract will take place on the day before Crystal's 60th birthday. Does that make him the oldest person signed to a pro contract? I am not sure, but it has to be close. Apparently, he is a big fan of the Yankees and they have decided to reward his dedication by allowing him to play for the team.

 

Hmm, are they on to something? Perhaps more pro sports teams should reward fans by allowing them to play. Even if only for a day. I know that I would happily make a fool of myself for a one-day contract with my beloved Twins. I can also think of some other celebs that I would love to see in baseball pants. Russell Crowe? George Clooney? The possibilites are endless.
