Quote for the DayEvery game must start with the National Anthem. The fans stand at attention, and many of them sing. Men from all walks of life, bankers, bricklayers, carpenters, lawyers, policemen, many of whom can never be prevailed upon to sing "On Turkey's Wings" or other twaddle at church, will take off their caps and place their right hands over their hearts, and sing.
