In what you can only imagine is a dream-come-true for Billy Crystal, the New York Yankees have offered the actor a contract with the team.

Billy Crystal said in a statement, “I’ve been waiting 50 years for this call. I’m overwhelmed by the generosity of the Yankees and Commissioner Selig. I know this’ll be tougher than the Broadway Softball League, but I’m looking forward to helping the younger players… which, by the way, is all of them.”

Billy Crystal will join the New York Yankees for spring training on March 12 and play on the team for the March 13 game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Legends Field in Tampa.
