My 5th grade teacher, Mrs West, could be heard on MANY occasions stating her belief that GBA should be our national anthem instead of TSSB...

in the same tradition as "the Star Spangled Banner is difficult to sing."

"Dear God, Thomas, that's an incredibly difficult piece!"

Ah, the fine art of understatement.... in the same tradition as "the Star Spangled Banner is difficult to sing." The United States somehow got along without an official National Anthem until 1931. TSSB wasn't even strongly associated with baseball until after the 1918 World Series, and was mostly reserved for World Series and holiday games until The Second World War. CW -
