National Anthem

[CP_414]

Maybe I jussed missed it, but did they skip it at Game 1 of the WS? I saw America the Beautiful, then commercials, then baseball.

[Mephistopheles]

I didn't see it.

[Fred Hornkohl]

It's a communist plot, I tell ya !!!

[bhogg]

the national anthem is offensive to non-citizens that may be watching the game.

 

you can't show stuff like that on TV.

This isn't Russia is it, Danny?

[ConstableRabbit]

Nothing's more American than Chevy -- not even the Star Spangled Banner.

 

Seriously.

[bhogg]

God Bless America, my home sweet HAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHM!!!!!!

 

 

Wow, I think Ms. Hudson tried a just a weeee bit too hard.

 

 

Just sing the damned song. Don't over do it.

Do we have to hear that song every 7th inning stretch? Why can't we just honor America before the game with the National Anthem and baseball during the game with Take Me Out to the Ballgame? I think there are much better sounding patriotic songs (such as America the Beautiful) anyway, if we're going for the patriotism during.

Why do you hate America?

[Wilson A2000]

In an effort to start the game on time, the National Anthem has been getting moved up. If the game starts at 7, the National Anthem will start at 6:55. Obviously what happened tonight was a little different because they jsut skipped it, but I heard that they are moving it up to start the games at the posted times.

Hahaha. Not America, just its most overrated song. It's based on another country's national anthem for God's sake!

Yeah, you'd think with Colbert leading the parade he'd learn to love America like most good citizens!

I think maybe he's confused with "My Country tis of Thee", which is based on the British national anthem.

Does anyone know who sang the opening at Game 1? I had about 3 people tell me that it was the splitting image of me, just 10-15 years older.

I'm almost positive it was Bob Seger, age 61.

Yes, my mistake. Whoops.

 

Either way, I still think we have better options.

That's too bad - a pretty good version of the Star Spangled Banner came out of the last time Stl played a WS game at Det, 38 years ago:

that's a beautiful rendition...doesn't surprise me at all that people were in an uproar about it though.

Yeah, it's sung beautifully. I don't really like how he makes it sound like a pop song though, haha.

 

My favorite is Whitney Houston's at the 1991 or 1990 superbowl
