are the Chicago White Sox radio announcers, John Rooney and Ed Farmer. Snidely commenting last night on the absurdly long seventh inning stretch with its inane singing, they said (very paraphrased):
"Well, the seventh inning stretch is FINALLY over...In addition, they are great at screaming with enthusiasm for big ChiSox plays, and they unabashedly cheer on their side, the perinially homely-until-lately White Sox. (I hate the silly veneer of neutrality that some announcers think they have to have. It's why I love Jerry Coleman and Ted Leitner of the Padres radio broadcast, in addition to Coleman's trademark "Ohh Doctor!" and "You can hang a star on that one, baby!" calls, and Leitner's "My Padres"/"Your Padres" dichotomy.)
They sang Take Me Out To The Ballgame, then they sang some more, they sang god Bless America...
they could publish an album here...
What's next: Jingle Bells?...
...
Yeah, Tanya Tucker was singing, she finally left the field... I think some of these people [at Anaheim] probably came just to hear her... Man, they could publish an album..."
