Brush with Greatness 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2004 Personally I hate God Bless America being played during the stretch. Hell, they took a fun part of the game and turned around into this serious reflection of the world stage. What the hell is the point of the Star Spangled Banner then?

Brush with Greatness 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2004 GBA doesn't bother me. That's surprising considering that your Yankees had won three straight championships and looked primed for a fourth throughout the 2001 season. Unfortunately, they made the switch and have failed in every season since. Like I pondered in the ALCS thread, could there be a curse on the Yankees for altering the great "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" tradition? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like I pondered in the ALCS thread, could there be a curse on the Yankees for altering the great "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" tradition? One year can be attributed to Jeff Weaver. Another was the great pitching meltdown of 02. 01 and 04 can be looked at as curses, I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Evolution Report post Posted October 25, 2004 God Bless America seems more like a pre-game thing than a seventh inning stretch thing. So to answer, Take Me Out To The Ballgame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jorge Gorgeous 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2004 I'm okay with GBA being played at Yankee Stadium and Shea, seeing as how they're extra relevant, but its time for it to go everywhere else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2004 Take Me Out, but only when either the fans sing or someone leads them (ala Wrigley). My goal is to see a sausage race in Milwaukee too. That's a cool and fun idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOLD 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2004 God Bless America was a stupid song before 9/11 and it's still a stupid song. If they must sing a Patriotic America song, at least sing a good one. GBA makes me turn off the tv. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smues Report post Posted October 25, 2004 God Bless America is a terrible song. If they want to play something do the national antheme again or something, but man GBA sucks heaping piles of ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2004 God Bless America is a terrible song. If they want to play something do the national antheme again or something, but man GBA sucks heaping piles of ass. Agreed. It's just a crappy song, usually crappily sung. At least they don't have to start every game with the Pledge of Allegiance, look at it that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
