This might give you a clue as to how bored I am during Spring Training. Sure, I'll participate in the office March Madness pool, but I could care less about college sports in general. Luckily, we are less than four weeks away from Opening Day, and I stumbled across some hilarious news earlier this morning. It turns out that Ronan Tynan, the racist opera singer, has joined Red Sox Nation after being banished from Yankee Stadium last season due to his antisemitic comments about his apartment building neighbors.
According to several reports, Tynan has already been asked to sing God Bless America on Opening Night, when the Sox host the World Champs. Maybe the Red Sox should take a long look around their infield and see if anyone may take offense to this idea, like Kevin Youkilis. Nice going guys.
Don't get me wrong, Tynan has a magnificent singing voice. But the Yankees did the right thing by not putting up with his comments last season. He showed up in the Bronx in 2001, when the Yankees began playing God Bless America during every seventh inning stretch. The Yankees won in 2000 before Tynan got there, and they won in 2009 when the weeble was banned. Here's to another long Red Sox curse.
