Naturally some people are hemming and hawing at how ridiculous, stupid and unfair it is, but I think this is a great and FUN idea.  He's probably the biggest Yankees fan on the planet, so I know he's going to have a good time.  And that's what it is....a good time.  The writers at the Post think it's the end of the world, but screw 'em.  I don't see how this is going to negatively affect our team or the upcoming season or any of our players.  It's one game, it's in ST, and Selig even said it was okay.  No harm, no foul.  I think they need to lighten up a little.   Baseball used to be a GAME, and GAMES are FUN.  I think something like this should remind everyone that we're all fans and we all want to say we had the opportunity to wear our team's uniform for one game.  Even the stodgy, corporate, boring, business-like Yankees can let loose and have some fun once in a while, right?  I hope Billy hits a home run for all us fans who wish we could have the opportunity to do this ourselves.
