Nurse Your 4th Of July Hangover By Listening To This Glorious Rendition Of "God Bless America" Using Only Old Baseball Reference Names
I’m pretty sure the internet cancelled the Kate Smith version of God Bless America a couple of months ago, which left us without a go-to rendition of the American classic. However the Don Zemmer Twitter account stepped up and put the country on his back when it needed him most. I don’t know if anything problematic about Zemmer will come out in the future that will result in another cancellation. But I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to get mad at anything that involves Pokey Reese’s name or someone that can only be described as a patriot for already remaking American classics like the National Anthem and Lose Yourself using only Baseball References names.
So now that that’s settled, lets recap our official best performances of America songs for sporting events:
Whitney Houston’s performance at Super Bowl XXV has the National Anthem on lock:
Ray Charles singing as the kids from The Sandlot recklessly play baseball at night is our official America The Beautiful:
And a Twitter account citing old baseball players names from Baseball Reference is now God Bless America.
What a country. What a sport. What a website. May everybody associated with America, baseball and Baseball Reference enjoy this wonderful holiday weekend.
Except for Jeff Wilpon. Fuck him.
