Flipped over to the Yankees/Pirates game just in time to see ol' Hector pick up a save for the Pirates. When they first said his name I thought it must be Hector JR but nope it's the same Hector still playing and he still hit 93 on the gun. Announcers said the Pirates are his 12th team. Also Billy Crystal led off the game for the Yankees as the DH and struck out on 6 pitches.
Who needed 6 pitches to strike out Billy Crystal?

They should have beaned him.

The pressure on Maholm must have been out of this world. Far worse than Game 7 bases loaded tie game no outs bottom of the 9th. Can you imagine if he had given up a hit to a 60year old actor? What his teammates would do to him would have made the Kyle Kendrick look pedestrian.
