The incident that I believe you're referring to occurred in 2008 at the now-demolished version of Yankee Stadium; the city settling the lawsuit happened in 2009: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/07/on-yankee-stadium-restroom-dispute-the-city-settles/ At the game at the new Yankee Stadium I went to in June 2012, I saw no evidence of "God Bless America" enforcement -- consistent with the Yankees' clarification of the current policy (or non-policy) quoted at the above link.

Then I remember I don't have to sing. You don't even have to take your hat off, despite what a few stadium announcers will tell you to do. (I have a feeling that at some point in the future, I'm going to get yelled at for this by a fellow fan.) I do find it a little bit amusing that in God-fearing Orange County, the Angels play it only on Sunday, but up in godless Hollywood, the Dodgers play it at every game (at least, this was true as of last season). -- Jim Ellwanger <[email protected]> <http://www.ellwanger.tv> -- -- TV or Not TV ....
