Now, THIS Would Have Been Interesting...

From the Post -

Jack Nicholson once nearly owned the Bronx Bombers. "I could have bought into the Yankees for $41 million, and the Lakers for less, with a friend," the superstar actor tells next month's Golf Digest. "I've been a Yankees fan since my days as a bleacher-street kid in the '50s. Lorne Michaels and I go to Yankee games, and Lorne wanted me to throw out the first ball at Yankee Stadium for my 70th birthday this year. That sounded fun until I started getting nervous and then completely crazy, thinking, 'Should I try to throw a slider?' Backed off that one, too. I've got my shy side."

I wonder if Jack would have told Brian Cashman to hold Carl Pavano or Kei Igawa between his knees?

Based on the price he quotes, that opportunity, if real, would've had to have been at some point after Steinbrenner bought the club.

Somehow I doubt the truth of Nicholson's claims.

This is the same guy who was 'furious' that he somehow wasn't asked to reprise his role as the new Joker in the 'Dark Knight' sequel to 'Batman Begins'

Reality might not be Jack's strong suit at this moment in time...
