The fact that they showed up when the NFL and NBA had problems proves that the average baseball player is smarter than the average football or basketball player. I’m encouraging my grandson, who is very good in all three, to give up the latter. Its a lot of work to end up injured and dumb.
If you watch a Yankees game they sing “God Bless America” at the seventh inning stretch, instead of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” Also, they honor people who have served in the military. They are on the field and are introduced by name and service, and the cameras show them to all.
