The Yankees have signed Billy Crystal to play for them. This is not just any Billy Crystal, it is THE Billy Crystal. Apparently, having celebrities on your baseball team is become a popular event. Granted, he is only playing on the farm team but he is playing none the less.

Celebrities playing baseball is a real crowd draw. Not only do you get to see a baseball game, you also get to see a star playing baseball.

Maybe they could get Don Rickel in a coaching position and maybe Bob Newhart as an umpire. The possibilities are fascinating.
