    Its gonna sound AWESOME!!!

    I can already hear the bitchin though. Like some of the knuckle heads that think Lee Greenwoods "Proud to be an American" should be played instead of the anthem, and if it is they expect me to take off my hat. Hey its a shitkicker de-luxe song thats it... :):)

    I wanna go!! Hmmm, maybe I will.

    I went to a T-Birds game a few years ago when Mike did this same thing. Mike McCready is badass. 8-)

    I think if we sell enough tickets ( through CCFA) we can throw out the first pitch too!

    I'll be there!
    I was gonna go anyway- but then I won tickets at FTM- so then I bought more to make up for it.
    :D

    How did I miss you at FTM? I was right in front of Stone....and everyone else who stood in that spot. And Duff "fell" on my husband and me...we were laughing so hard!

    And yay CCFA and Mariners! Yay!

    I stumbled onto this while driving home from work today - flipped to the game and thought "who would have the guts (no pun intended, I think) to rock out the National Anthem, and why are they playing it on the radio?"

    Excellent! Got home and the husband had recorded it (and the interview) for me. Good job, Mikey!

    Again, thanks for putting a face on these conditions Mike and raising so much awareness. You continue to inspire me!

    I see where Mikey also took batting practice earlier in the day.
