August 28, 200421 yr I was bored and lil bit ago I thought of a pretty interesting idea......since baseball was so tentative to play and treated it with lots of respect when sept 11 happened i thought that it would be a good tribute that on every sept 11 all games played that day would be 11 innings...idk i thought it was pretty cool... tell me what ya think
August 28, 200421 yr Since it happened in September, I suggest they all play 9 innings. Now that is more realistic
August 28, 200421 yr How about they sing "god bless America" during the 7th inning stretch.... That idea... it is terrible i dunno if anyone knows but thats what Samir says on Office Space to the jump to conclusions map.... eh I try
August 28, 200421 yr Author How about they sing "god bless America" during the 7th inning stretch.... thats not enough they need to be more original anyways
August 28, 200421 yr thats not enough they need to be more original anyways They could put Spiderman on all the bases!
August 28, 200421 yr thats not enough they need to be more original anyways Seriously, I've grown tired of the whole "God Bless America" thing... I usually step out do someting really american like buy a beer for last call, or at least a Hot Dog. I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but how are those people who lost thier lives on that day any more special than those who innocently lost their lives in motor vehicle accidents? They're both tragic and unexpected, yet one continues to be exploited for profit and votes and "patriotism". What makes one life of more value than another?

August 28, 200421 yr "Yesterday is long gone, and tomorrow is never guaranteed. But today is a gift, that's why they call it the 'present'." Or whatever that phrase is.

I watch/go to baseball games to get AWAY from things in the real word. That is why i really dislike any playing of God bless America and any special changes. Baseball has a set of rules and traditions that should not be changed for anything. Like 9 innings, that has been a rule forever, and a seventh inning strech, with take me out to the ballgame, that had become a great tradition. I have no problem with honoring 9/11 but please dont do it anywhere near baseball or any event that had NOTHING to do with it. Have a nice ceremony at the scene of the towers or a special on TV but dont change the game.
