I'm leaving for sunny Tampa Wednesday morning for a 6-day experience of Yankees Spring Training at Legends/Steinbrenner Field for the first time in my life. This is a trip I've been looking forward to for a long time and I'm sad to say it's going to involve one less day watching the Yanks.

Stuff like this really bothers me. Billy Crystal, a comedian who hasn't been funny since...well, ever, will be suiting up for the Yankees against the Pirates on Thursday. I have tickets for that game, and as soon as I read that story, they became available.

My wife, daughter and I may take a road trip to see another team play, we may hit the beach or go for a hike. One place I won't be is at Legends Field. I'm boycotting.

If anyone is interested in buying the tickets, I have 4 in section 219, row F. Send me an e-mail proving you are not a Billy Crystal fan and we'll work something out. Miserable way to start the trip.
