Call me a patriotic traditionalist, but I love the flag waving and anthem singing before games. I especially love it when the whole crowd sings the Star Spangled Banner. Wonderful.
At Saturday's Great Lakes Loons game at Dow Diamond in Midland a soprano worked through a trilling version of the anthem. (Well done, just not very small "d" democratic when the crowd doesn't get to sing.) The young players and their kid counterparts bowed their heads to honor the land of the free and the home of the brave. It's a very American Pie and Chevy at the levee moment. I love it.
