What a gal!
The folks at Redbird Nation, the best Cardinals site on the internet, noticed that in an interview with Esquire this month, Emmylou Harris had this to say:
"During those long summer tours, there's nothing on television that doesn't rot your brain except for baseball. And I love the game. I love the history of the game. I love that fact that anything can happen but probably won't. But sometimes does. I love that you don't have to be a perfect human specimen to be a good player; you can be overweight, you can be too short, too skinny. Let's just say I'm a National League girl, because I don't belive in the designated hitter. And you can quote me on that."
sandor: In the documentary Down from the Mountain -- the film of the concert of the music of the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" -- one of the most smile-inducing moments is when they show Emmylou Harris in her dressing room, being rushed out to the stage, furiously digging through her purse to find her wireless baseball score receiver so she can check on the status of the day's games.
thatbob: The days games. Plural. That's heartening. I was afraid that, as a southerner, she might just be some kind of Braves fan.
Jason: Basbeall? What's that?
Jim: There is no such thing as basbeall. There was never a typo in Levi's post. We have always been at war with Oceania.
