Toucher & Rich: Everyone Is Losing Their Mind Over Derek Jeter's Retirement
BOSTON (CBS) - The pomp and circumstance surrounding Derek Jeter's final home game at Yankee Stadium was a little over the top.
Actually, it was extremely over the top -- especially the pregame tributes.
It's hard to out-Suzyn Waldman Suzyn Waldman, but Billy Crystal may have done just that.
Everyone lost their mind yesterday, but Crystal lost his awhile ago when it comes to the Yankees.
"My grandmother said there's always three things you can count on in life: Death, taxes and Derek Jeter," Crystal said to start the tribute.
"I've never heard that reference before," said a sarcastic Fred Toucher.
It gets worse. A lot worse, and a lot cornier.

Billy Crystal Waxes Poetic
But Billy Crystal wasn't the only one losing his mind last night.
Add Bob Costas, Tom Verducci, Suzyn Waldman, John Sterling and others to the growing list of media members going crazy.
The ever-poetic Costas began the broadcast noting the forecast for the evening (which called for heavy rains) and the pristine game time conditions, suggesting afterwards that God played a hand in Jeter's final home game.
"Maybe Mother Nature is even on Jeter's side," said Costas.
"These crops aren't growing where I live. Why won't you let it rain God? Why are you being so nice to Jeter?" joked Rich as a struggling farmer.
Toucher & Rich put together the Top 10 cheesiest moments from last night's Yankees-Orioles game.
