Billy Crystal is Pride of the Yankees

Technically, Billy Crystal getting an AB for the Yankees isn't really South Florida sports, but Spring Training is, and as such, I'm calling it relevant.

Crystal has always been one of my favorite comedians, and I couldn't help but share a few words on his first - and only - MLB appearance.

It was a strikeout, but he did make contact (a foul down the first base line). For a man of 60 years, that's pretty darn good. The Yankees may not be deserving of praise all the time, but let's hand it to them here. This was clearly more an homage to Crystal than a publicity stunt, so let's commend them for it.

Oh, and we can remind them of that '03 series too.
