Pete Caldera and Peter Abraham report on LaTroy Hawkins and Billy Crystal's exchange of pranks.

Reportedly, Hawkins led a two day prankfest on Crystal, meaning a lot of snapped shoelaces and cut socks. But, Crystal took the last shot:

Billy Crystal gave a parting shot to LaTroy Hawkins, who found his brand new running shoes screwed into the top of his locker. When he walked into the clubhouse this morning, Hawkins laughed at the sight. "That's good.'' Players also alerted Hawkins to Mike Mussina's eraser board, where Crystal had signed his name below a message: "Don't (mess) with me!!!''

"I don't know if he did it or not. But I'm going to take it out on (rookie pitcher Andrew) Brackman," Hawkins said.
