Funny old world, innit? I'd love to move to DC, but I don't know the words of Star Spangled Banner. Can't get enough of this baseball game of yours though!
In this nation, not knowing the words to the Star Spangled Banner is qualification enough to sing it!
I live in Texas myself. Whilst in London baseball was one of just three things about America I missed - the others being my friends, and tacos. I listened to baseball via Internet radio (Charlie and Dave, the Nats announcers, are superb) but it simply isn't the same.
