Billy Crystal and the rest of us.

Billy Crystal for his 60th birthday got to suit up and bat in a spring training game for his beloved New York Yankees. You can't help but think back to his "best day" line in the movie City Slickers. It also makes you think of Burt Lancaster's character, Archie "Moonlight" Graham in Field of Dreams.

For the record, here is the boxscore from my first game on August 19th, 1978. Mike Schmidt hit a rare game leadoff home run, Steve Carlton pitched a three-hit shutout, and 3 Hall of Famer's started the game.
