I thought it was a joke when I heard about it. Let me preface with this disclaimer: I have nothing against Christians, some of my best friends are Christians, I was raised Christian. Christian Family Day at Busch Stadium, isn't that a little exclusive? Would they sponsor a atheist, pagan or anarchist day at the ballpark, much less a Muslim, Jewish or Hindu Day. Why do people feel the need to promote their personal faith commercially? I hold sacred the belief in separation of church and stadium. Who will throw out the first pitch, the Pope, Warren Jeffs, Rev. Jeremiah Wright? If player is caught stealing will they be flogged or offered absolution? If a manager is thrown out will it be for eternity or just sent to purgatory? Will the sign of the cross mean a slider or a curve ball? Do we have a fish mascot?
So...
Take me out to The Ballgame
Take me out to the Church
Buy me a Rosary, and some Holy Water
I don't care if I become a Martyr
So it's root, root, root for Jesus
If we don't win it's a sin...............!
