CRYSTAL: I’M BOMBERS’ 'DESIGNATED HEBREW’


March 13, 2008 -- ST. PETERSBURG -Billy Crystal is slated to play in today's Yankees-Pirates game. The comedian and lifelong Yankees fan, who will soon turn 60 years old, yesterday said he thought he would be the DH.

"In this case," Crystal said, "a Designated Hebrew."

Crystal, who said Derek Jeter helped facilitate the appearance, called playing for the Yankees his "childhood dream, always."



Billy Crystal talks with Reggie Jackson and Derek Jeter while stretching out during the Yankees' spring training workout.

Wasn't Billy always a Mets fan anyway?

I don't think so, he was the director for that 61* movie about that year for Roger Maris.


Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

I don't think anybody truly knows why Crystal wore the Mets cap throughout the entirety of CitySlickers, but I've heard rumors that he chose the Mets over the Yankees because the Mets were simply better than the Yankees pre-dynasty days.

Hank continues to try and one-up the Red Sox, but all he ends up doing is embarrassing himself and his organization.

I certainly enjoy getting riled up over such stupid shit, but man, my hatred for the Yankees has never been higher.

The best part about this is that they're a shit team this year.

Apparently he approached the Yanks first, but he asked for a donation to some charity he was involved in. Took the same offer to the mets and they accepted.

Interesting. Why would the Yankees decline? Good, cheap advertisement that's helping a cause.

Oh, now I get why they declined, helping charities is frowned upon by Steinbrenner's. Wouldn't want to give out any money to help people, it's against their religion.

Heard Mike and the MAd dog ask where was he before the Yanks won the World Series.
A lot of Baseball reporters dislike him for snubbing them.

Now that's not even true. He's a lot of things but he is not that type of person.

I personally didn't think it was so bad, it's only spring training.

I thought he was maaaaahvelous.

What's the big frigging deal? Neither Billy Crystal nor the Yankees had any ulterior motives here. And one spring training at bat is not going to decide some minor leaguer's future. Besides, none of the Yankee regulars seemed to mind.

LOL...dude, come on. As hard as this is to believe, I don't think it had anything to do with the Red Sox.

A little exaggeration, I just plain don't like the guy.

Leave him alone...

New York Times - C. C. Sabathia has turned down Cleveland’s four-year offer worth more than $17 million a season and the Yankees have more than $75 million coming off their payroll after this season.

Starters Andy Pettitte, Mike Mussina and Carl Pavano are all in the final year of their current contracts.

“It’s fine when I go there,” said Sabathia when asked about New York.

“I’m focused on this season right now, playing in Cleveland and trying to win,” Sabathia said, adding later: “I’ve been here since I was 17. We’ll just have to see what happens.”

It's honestly robbery.

He gets to collect cash and not pay a dime for his recovery treatment.

He's a bomb. They should sue to get their money back.

Carl Pavano rules! I wish the Yankees had a dozen more guys just like him.

What was Pavano's track record injury-wise before he signed with NY?

He always had trouble staying healthy. Lots of stints on the DL prior to signing with NYY. He had one full, decent season, and that was his last season with the Marlins. He turned one season into a rediculous pay day.
