Back in 2008, Billy Crystal turned 60 and managed to make baseball history. He was given the chance to have an at bat at a Yankees spring training game. That’s not the history part. He struck out, that also wasn’t the history making part. So what was?
They stopped the game to give him the ball he struck out on. First tme ever. You know Billy did one of two things with that ball. He’s either got it up on his mantle like a trophy, or he has someone pitch it to him every weekend so he can finally hit it.
You know how it is. You’re excited for a big night out, say for your birthday. You’re ready, you’re partner is ready, you’re both all dolled up and ready to hit the town. You splurge on a car to take you wherever you want, and your partner falls asleep on the way there. Couldn’t happen you say? It did when Justin Timberlake was heading out for his birthday and Jessica Biel fell asleep on the way. She says she was just getting prepared for their big night out. Sure, just prepping. That’s it. And the snoring was just warming up to sing happy birthday. Got it.

Music is awesome. Of course it is. But sometimes, our favorites from back in the day, are a lot weirder than we thought. Take Bruce Springsteens I’m On Fire. Comedian Pete Holmes points out, if you pay attention, things get weird quick.
“Hey little girl is your daddy home, has he gone away and left you all alone.”
Was no one paying attention back in the 70’s? It didn’t seem weird that a grown man was basically stalking a “little girl” in her home because he had a “bad desire”?
