It seems that the most controversial part of the first game of the World Series tonight at the New Yankee Stadium, as broadcast on Fox with no blackouts, is Kay Messenger’s singing “God Bless America” during the Seventh Inning Stretch, story here.
But apparently the Yankees had fired singer Ronan Tynan for an anti-Semetic email, story here.
In 2009, the Yankees had to settle a suit from a patron who was ejected for going to the bathroom during the singing of GBA, link for story here and apparently the Yankees have dropped that silly rule now.
And some people want to ban “God Bless America”, as in this curious (URL) story.
Chase Utley, a left handed batter facing left handed Sabathia, hit two homers on two-strike pitches.
The Phillies won the game, 6-1. Cliff Lee pitched a complete game.
