Bubba The Beauty

From The Post:

"It really wasn't something I had to weigh. It seemed like it was a pretty easy decision."

Bubba Crosby on spending extra time at telethon.

This past Sunday in Albany, Bubba Crosby was helping out at a telethon for the Center for Disability Services. After signing autographs for several hours, the Yankee outfielder was supposed to fly to Newark, where he had a connecting flight back home to Houston.

But when he got to the airport, Crosby found that weather was holding up his flight to Newark. And at that point, since flying home that night wasn't going to happen, Crosby — who had already given more to the telethon that day than was required of him — opted to give even more than that.

Crosby headed back to the telethon, just to help out further.

Crosby said he had enjoyed his time there so much and believed it was such a worthy cause, it was a no-brainer.

"It really wasn't something I had to weigh," Crosby said in a phone interview this week. "It seemed like it was a pretty easy decision."

Good heart. No wonder Torre likes him.

Good for Bubba. If he can't get 400 ABs this season with the Yankees, I hope he gets them somewhere in the majors.

Damn, my password hasn't worked in a couple months. Now I'm back (as if people remembered me being here).

It's always nice to hear stories like this to make you forget about the crappy ones you hear.

This is just Antonio Belize at work, whispering in Crosby's ear how good it would look if he went back to the telethon.
