On the other hand, MLB gave the Yankees permission to sign comedian Billy Crystal to a one-day minor league contract so that he can play in a spring training game, which he will do tomorrow. C'mon now. I don't care how big a fan Crystal is. Well, they say that spring training games don't mean a thing. Hey, in future it could be another way for MLB to rake in the money: sell the chance to fans to participate on the field in ST. One fan per team per ST. Highest bidder wins.
