The Day We Know Things Are "Normal" Again...

...is the day when the song performed at the seventh-inning stretch goes back to being "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" instead of "God Bless America (Or Else)." Whilst watching the playoffs I've taken to muting this without changing the channel, and Saturday's Sox/Yankees one freaked us both out a little. Robin's like "What's with all the insignia? he looks like a Nazi stormtrooper," and I responded, "Hey, didn't he just do a 'Heil Hitler' salute?" Well, as Bob Harris shows, we weren't the only ones looking askance at this gentleman, and he was brave enough to keep the audio on! (By the way: yes, I'm bleary as hell this morning, even though I turned off Game 4 when the Sox tied it in the bottom of the 9th, figuring they'd probably win it...)
