Billy Crystal comes to Fresno!

Aug 30, 2011 15:27

Last weekend the Fresno Grizzlies (the SF Giant's AAA farm team) hosted their final two home games of the season. Billy Crystal showed up at Saturday night's to throw the first pitch of the game and to also film for his role as Artie Decker, radio voice of the Fresno Grizzlies. He will star in the film "Us & Them" alongside Bette Midler, although a release date has not been mentioned yet.

Regardless, it will be exciting to see this movie when it comes out! The only times I really hear Fresno mentioned in TV shows, it hasn't been in the most favorable light. Fresno tends to be where all the crazies come from (read: I'm looking at you CSI:Las Vegas). We'll see what Hollywood does with our little farm town, although most of the filming will be done in Georgia, ha!









Spying on Billy while he films from one of the press boxes :D

Oh, and the Grizzlies lost both nights to the Sacramento River Cats. Not quite how I'd like to see my team end the home season, but that's all right. Next season I'll be back for more!
