Celebrities make MLB debut
Billy Crystal participates in Yankees' spring training game
BY BEN WALKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. — Billy Crystal better stick to his night job.
The comedian, actor and Oscar presenter struck out in his new career as a baseball player Thursday — and promptly struck out as the New York Yankees' new leadoff man.
Wearing No. 60 a day before his 60th birthday, and cheered on by fellow funnyman Robin Williams, Crystal gave himself a chance in the first inning in his only at-bat.
Swinging late against Pittsburgh's Paul Maholm, Crystal bounced a chopper past first baseman Adam LaRoche that landed several feet foul. Crystal got ahead in the count 3-1, but then swung over a pair of 88 mph fastballs.
The crowd gave Crystal a standing ovation, and he raised his hand to salute the fans. Teammate-for-a-day Alex Rodriguez signaled Maholm, who tossed the ball toward the Yankees dugout for a souvenir.

Crystal's debut — and finale — followed the likes of Garth Brooks and Tom Selleck, other celebrities who played in spring training games.
Before the game, Crystal worked out on the main diamond at Legends Fields.
Actor and comedian Billy Crystal strikes out in his only at-bat as designated hitter during the New York Yankees spring training baseball game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Legends Field in Tampa, Fla., Thursday.
"I'm really relaxed, I really am," Crystal said after taking pregame infield practice. "That's until I see
the 6-foot-2, 230-pound guy who's going to throw who's never been to a Seder."
His only sign of nervousness: He chomped nonstop on bubblegum.
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
