A Yankee and a Gentleman: Mothman Richard Gere manages the Yankees for a day

At last, the Billy Crystal Yankee Celebrity Spring Training Era has ended.

Liverpool, NY-native Rchard Gere quit his guru Sunday and managed the Yankees.

Gere is a big Yankee fan, along with Brad Pitt, Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson and anybody who is anybody.

Henry Kissinger? Yankee fan.

Joe Lieberman? Yankee fan.

Jerry Springer? Yankee fan.

Ari Fleischer? Yankee fan.

Lady Gaga? BIG Yankee fan.

We own the U.S. celebrity market.

Never forget it. And the Mothman prophesizes a Yankee pennant in 2010!
