National Anthem and God Bless America every baseball game?

[Reckoner]

I'm used to the National Anthem since it's tradition, but do we really need to hear god bless america EVERY game during the 7th inning?

 

[FoBoT]

sure
works for me

 

[Schadenfroh]

I dont have a problem with it.

 

[Queasy]

Were you complaining about them playing Take Me Out to the Ball Game during every 7th inning stretch beforehand?

 

[NutBucket]

Why the hell not?

only some stadiums do that.

fenway, for example, doesn't. they just play the music to it, no singin.

8th inning we sing sweet caroline

They only play "Take me out to the ball game" in the 7th inning here in KC.

Tradition FTW!!!

 

[giantpinkbunnyhead]

I could do without it.

*waits for all the accusations of not being patriotic*

Seriously... I could do just fine never hearing the damn song again. Everyone who tries to sing it seems to butcher it to holy hell with their "personal touch" that they think is the greatest thing. Just play the damn ball game!

You obviously dont watch alot of baseball, seeing that you think that they sing "God Bless America" during the 7th. In fact you probably made this topic to destroy and question tradition that you dont even know about.

that is a shame this is even being discussed

And you call yourself a Patriots fan... sigh...

I am alos sick of Happy Birthday once a year and Jingle Bells around the 25th of December.

 

[SVT Cobra]

I have no problem with it, and hell, I like to sing along!

unless someone is forcing you to stand at attention and/or sing, i dont see the problem. attendence at ballgames is not manditory.
