Saw Peter Frampton Gammons playing the hard rock guitar version, Bo Diddley's version, on Baseball Tonight, of Take Me Out to the Ballgame. He's not half bad. Big promotion over there. 9 different groups and styles of music competing for the prize. Some country singer is the favorite because she has the best name recognition. Pete liked this Cuban group that was involved. Jazz great Wynton Marsallis was also included.
I guess we're approaching the dog days of summer.
This is how espn tries to get the young people who don't really like baseball involved. Cross pollination. Maybe they like music. Maybe they'll text their votes in (regular rates apply) while they're multitasking elsewhere.
