interesting things concerning my beloved baseball team...

These are little known things concerning our baseball team. Mr. DeWitt, the principle owner of our beloved Cardinals, was (and still is) one of GWB’s best buddies and essentially was in charge of his inaugral parties in 2000 and 2004 in DC.  He was also a minority partner in the ownership group that actually owned the Texas Rangers (they made GWB the “face” of the ownership group, even though his share was minimal untl he was given the sweetheart deal.) when they made their sweetheart deal to get the new Ballpark at Arlington and promised “ballpark village” (sound eerily familiar, doesn’t it?) which never materialized and made Arlington, TX residents pay the highest per capita property taxes in the entire state of Texas.  It seems everything these guys are doing seem to be aimed, however remotely, at GOP propaganda, or furthering that cause.  I am surprised that they didn’t have Jim Talent singing the national anthem, but he cant sing, apparently, so, here are a few facts about the people he DID bring in to sing the anthems…

Billy Ray Cyrus (Game 5 – the clincher)  At one time Billy Ray Cyrus sang a song  "We The People," the working people’s anthem from Southern Rain, which  became the campaign theme song for President George W. Bush during his 2000 election campaign.  His father was a Kentucky Dem, and a former state Representative, but the son is not, died in the wool GOP. 

Trace Atkins (Game 3)  Adkins pled guilty to a drunk driving charge during 1996, and in 2004 he supported George W. Bush's re-election campaign, performing at the Republican National Convention.  Also died in the wool GOP.

The game 4 singer, Nikko Smith, son of former Cards shortstop Ozzie Smith, is the only person who could remotely be considered a Democrat, since the boy’s father has been supportive of, or sympathetic to, Democratic causes.
