Couple of great jokes. One saying Carlos Beltran got 119million dollars from the Mets and gets to sit out Octobers.
NEW YORK -- Randy Johnson wrapped up his tumultous two-day introduction as a Yankee -- and to New York City -- by visiting with the quintessential New Yorker on Tuesday night. And he indeed was admonished by David Letterman. Not for giving his big right hand and some lip to a local cameraman in a Monday morning incident -- but for apologizing for the altercation.
"(Johnson) has to do three things," the host of "Late Show with David Letterman" said during his opening monologue. "Win as many games as he can, sign autographs and visit kids in the hospital. "That's all. Just because some clown thinks, 'Oh, here's a baseball player, I'm going to climb on his shoulder and take his picture.' ... he shouldn't have to apologize."
Gets better...
Invariably, Letterman brought their conversation back to the incident with
the cameraman. "You made the mistake of sticking your face out of your hotel," the host said."Coming from the small markets where I've played, like Montreal, Seattle and Arizona, I'm not used to photographers jumping out of the bushes," Johnson said. "I was wrong."
"Please!" Letterman protested. "You didn't do anything wrong. That guy should apologize to you."
Letterman, who continued to refer to the cameraman in question in quite unflattering terms, gradually wore away at Johnson's contrition, eventually eliciting a wide smile from him.
"OK," Johnson finally relented, "I didn't do anything wrong."
"Do me a favor," Letterman said at the end of the pitcher's stint. "Call me before you apologize to anyone again."
Way to go David Letterman! Welcome to the Yankees Universe, Randy Johnson.
