6. I'll know that we're back to normal when they dump the frigging "GOD BLESS AMERICA" rendition at

seventh inning stretch. When we go back to "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" I'll figure that we have our long lamented USA back once more.

As for the Anthem, it's traditional. And not just here, everywhere. You go to a game in Canada, you get to sing their anthem--it's much easier to sing, certainly. When a team or individual wins at the Olympics, they play the winner's tune. It goes with sports, it's kinda like turkey and cranberry sauce.
