• Miracle Max has signed a one day contract with the New York Yankees. The Yankees are ready to add a touch of Hollywood to their roster, announcing their plans to sign actor and comedian Billy Crystal to a one-day contract during Spring Training.

Crystal will sign the contract and work out with the Yankees at Legends Field on Wednesday, before playing in the club’s game on against the Pirates on Thursday. Commissioner Bud Selig approved the Yankees’ extension of a contract to Crystal.

• No Pie for 3-5 days. Seems as though he twisted his nuts. Perhaps he needs advice from teammate Carlos Zambrano on the proper technique of emailing one’s brother.

Pie is suffering from what’s called testicular torsion, or, in layman’s terms, a twisted testicle

• To ensure that they will have the most ping pong balls for the next draft, Dwayne Wade will miss the remainder of the season so he can further rehabilitate his surgically repaired left knee, which has bothered him for about a year.

• Lawyers for a former St. Louis Rams player and three fans plan to withdraw a lawsuit that accuses the New England Patriots of cheating in the 2002 Super Bowl.

In court papers filed Monday, the plaintiffs’ attorneys say they sued last month in an attempt to secure sworn testimony from former Patriots employee Matt Walsh, who allegedly taped a walkthrough practice by the Rams before New England’s Super Bowl win.

• Jordan Tata has not had a good spring for the Tigers. In his first outing of the spring, he allowed four earned runs to Florida Southern College. In his second, he surrendered three to the Tampa Bay Rays. In his third, Friday against Atlanta, he had the bases empty and two out before walking the next two batters. And then it just gets worse.

Tata walked off the field and headed for the clubhouse. And as he entered the locker room, he did something he now regrets.

He hit the door with his pitching hand — and broke a knuckle in his little finger. Does baseball administer the Wonderlic?

• The Texas Rangers’ season doesn’t start for another month, but on Sunday the team’s staff was assembling a roster of a different sort. They were looking for the girls next door – who just happen to throw a mean fastball. (Yes there is video, you horny bastards)

Twenty female athletes, many current or former high school and college softball players, were vying to become one of six Rangers “ball girls” for the upcoming baseball season.

I would have thought the Rangers has enough problems with pitching on their own major league roster without trying to evaluate and additional hurlers.

• In the dance of 64 and a half so far. San Diego, Davidson, Burnt Siena & George Mason.

• China’s Liu Xiang received the gold medal for the 60 meter hurdles on two occasions Sunday after a mix-up over the national anthem.

A bemused Liu was the model of stoicism in the initial ceremony as organizers inadvertently played Chile’s national anthem instead of the Chinese. Well at least it was alphabetical.

• Those wacky soccer hooligans. Italian referee Mauro Bergonzi was sent into hiding by police after thugs tried to attack someone he looked like, the head of the country’s referees’ association has said.

Bergonzi awarded two contentious penalties in Napoli’s 3-1 win over Juventus in October.
