MLB: Hot Stove Time

[Ming]

I think some people need to get a life... a lot of the stories out of New York were about how bad it was for the game... blah blah blah...

We are talking spring training here... and it's just a game. No big deal. It was entertaining, and the fans and players had fun. Some writers need to just move along.

Steroids, HGH, congressional hearings, an idiot commissioner, competitive imbalance... but we're going to call out Billy Crystal, a very public lifelong Yankees fan, as "bad for the game"???

Yeah. If this were some random entertainer I might think it's dumb, but this is Billy Crystal. Why not??

They could've made him manager for the game... actually that might have been more interesting, but getting a MLB at-bat is definitely

Also, for the pitcher throwing him cutters out of the strike zone on 3-1. Throw him right up the middle

Isn't it about time he did a City Slickers 3?

Yep. What ever happened to just having fun in Spring Training? I mean really... one at bat is going to ruin things?

Hell, it's baseball! I mean look how we still talk about the fun of the Eddie Gaedel at bat (he was 3 ft, 7 inches, so almost an automatic walk), and that was in a REAL game!
