Yankees ditch youth movement, go with Billy Crystal

Everyone has criticized the Yanks the last couple of years for being an aging team with the likes of Randy Johnson, Mike Mussina etc.
But the team got older today -- much older -- when life-long Yankee fan Billy Crystal joined the team in its preseason game against the Pirates.
Playing DH, the 59-year-old comedian struck out in his first at bat on a 3-2 count.
Crystal, who looks miniscule compared to your average ballplayer, actually made contact, fouling off a pitch down the first base line.
Maybe he should talk to some 'trainers' about procuring some HGH.
