First of all...

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK, BABY.

I believe that's all that needs to be said. Monday night, DEFINITELY among the best nights of my entire life. I can't overstate that. WOO!

But anyway. Let's talk baseball. Sara and I have talked a little about the smoov jazz numbers her team and the Dodgers chose for the national anthem on their respective home opening days, and I was wondering what my Royals would do yesterday for their opener against the Yankees. Well, I don't know who sang the anthem, but I DO know now that Garth Brooks will be leading a round of "Friends In Low Places" at every home game this season. According to the Kansas City Star, Garth took a few hours recently and recorded several different openings to the song, just to be played during Royals home games. The Star says he did 20-25 different openings. So Royals fans will be singing along to that song this season in the 6th inning or whatever. Sure, seems like a semi-ripoff of the Boston "Sweet Caroline" thing, but pfft, what do I care? Ha. I kinda like it. I'm all for Garth hanging with the Royals. Why not?

But still, who sang the anthem? Hmmmm. I may never know. Couldn't you kick in just a little early on opening day, Extra Innings?
