Crystal Bean

Hollywood treasure Billy Crystal struck out in his only at bat for the New York Yankees in pre-season action against the Pittsburgh Pirates. On the third strike, Pirates catcher, Ryan Doumit, purposely dropped the ball, forcing Crystal to have to run to first base for the dropped third strike. Doumit let Crystal scamper about halfway down the line before he beaned the comedian between the shoulder blades with the ball. As Crystal crumpled to the ground in a humorous heap, Doumit shouted, “THAT’S FOR MAKING MR. SATURDAY NIGHT, FUNNY MAN!”
