Memo to Major League Baseball: Both League Championship Series have been wildly entertaining to date, but could we please lose the "God Bless America" during the 7th inning stretch of all of these postseason games? The traditional stretching song since 1910 has been the unparalleled Tin Pan Alley strain "Take Me Out To the Ballgame." I've attended more than 150 big league games during my lifetime, and I've noticed that people seem to like it. It's upbeat, it's fun to sing with a group, and that part where we count strikes near the end is a gas. I miss it. What say we kick the somber, deflating, jingoistic Irving Berlin banality to the curb and dance with the song that brung us? If we're going to be forced to endure "God Bless America" during each post-season baseball game until we've won the War On Terror, we'll also need you to lift the 7th inning "last call" at the ballparks.
