SOMEWHAT APPROPRIATE VIDEO & PICTURES CONSIDERING WORLD SERIES GAME 3 AND CHICKEN WINGS ARE LOOMING TONITE:

I don’t recall what year it was. I know Pedro Martinez was pitching, which truly was like watching a cobra uncoil to release a fastball, rivaled in motional esthetic beauty only by a Michael Jordan's 20 footer or Evonne Goolagong’s backhand. What you don’t see in this video is me scanning the sideline crowd for a mom with at least 2 kids in tow. Lemme explain.

Some Red Sox Director Of Music People Getting Person was a Boston folk fan. I got the call and I said yes. I was given the optional opportunity to pre-record the National Anthem and lip-synch. “Pffft” I said. "I’m Vance Friggin Gilbert" (if you’ve ever wondered what the “F” stood for - ok there’s no F, but I digress...) A slap on the back and the Director said “Atta boy, I had a feeling you’d say that. Watch the echo”.

So confident cocky me standing on the side hears them announce the Jimmy Fund. I see the announcer announce, “And now, ladies and gentlemen...” I *hear*, a second and a half later “And now, ladies and gentlemen...” OMG I realize that I have to sing the next line while hearing the first lines twice - once in my head and once again in the stadium. I peed a little.

Quickly I found that mom with 2 kids. I knew whomever she’d be that she’d have tissues. They always do. Because kids have boogers, they spill, they cry, they ooze stuff for no reason. I thanked said mom, spit on the end of two tissues, jammed them into my ears and that’s what you see/hear here.

I think I did OK although they haven’t asked me back. Maybe the Red Sox hired a new RSDOMPGP. That’s ok.
I have 2 earwax-goobed tissues to prove it happened.👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
