Baseball and Patriotism...

An extra thought on last night's playoff game between the Indians and Yankees. Why oh why do we still have to listen to America the Beautiful during the seventh inning stretch? Take Me Out to the Ballgame is the only song that should ever be sung at that time! It was annoying when it started after 9/11 and is even more so now. To make it even worse the Yankees had Ronan Tynan sing it. Nothing against him. He is a great singer and is one of the Irish Tenors. But he is Irish! Born in Ireland. They can't even find an American to sing it? If the idea is to show your patriotism then at least have someone born here sing the damn song...
