Simon & Garfunkel and Baseball ( 19:37:59 SatAug 30 2003 )

Garfunkel To Sing At Mets Game, But Stays A Phillies Fan

Forest Hills, Queens native Art Garfunkel is set to sing a special seventh-inning-scatter rendition of "God Bless America" today (April 1) at the home opener of the New York Mets at Shea Stadium.

Garfunkel is proud of his roots and growing up in Queens with former partner Paul Simon, but he realized as a youngster that baseball existed outside of New York."It occurred to me when I was a kid that if you're a New Yorker you don't have to be a Brooklyn Dodger fan or a New York Yankee fan, and those few New York Giant fans. . .not for me. And then one day I saw the Dodgers at Ebbets Field play the Phillies and I just loved those red uniforms, they were pinstripe and there was Richie Ashburn and Robin Roberts," he said. "I thought, 'There's my team.'"

Asked if he ever thought about changing loyalties due to Ashburn joining the Mets in his later days, Garfunkel added, "It didn't make me move over to the Mets. I've been Phillies all the way. I'm loyal. I stick all the way."

Paul Simon Reflects On Joe DiMaggio ( 19:41:51 SatAug 30 2003 )

Singer/songwriter Paul Simon wrote an op-ed piece in The New York Times reflecting on baseball legend Joe DiMaggio, who died Monday. In the piece, which ran Tuesday (March 9), Simon recalls hearing rumors that DiMaggio had been


upset over the "Mrs. Robinson" lyric, "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?" The musician reveals that he took an opportunity to explain the phrase to DiMaggio a few years after the song's release. "I said that I didn't mean the lines literally, that I thought of him as an American hero and that genuine heroes were in short supply," Simon writes of an impromptu meeting with DiMaggio in the early '70s. "He accepted the explanation and thanked me."

Yeah, it's fun to play - when it's not a game to be taken seriously. :wink:

Yeah, that's pretty much what I meant. I don't mind playing hockey with a group of friends - when it's not meant to be taken seriously. However, I think too many people take professional sports too seriously.
