Baseball continues to thrive as a key aspect of American culture, generating $12.1 billion annually. Opening Day at Yankee Stadium showcased this vitality with a sellout crowd of 46,000, despite humorous blunders such as singer Betsy Wolfe forgetting the lyrics to the national anthem. The article contrasts the lavish expenditures around the sport, including extravagant player salaries and expensive amenities, with a lighthearted critique of the significant cultural moments associated with the game, highlighting the juxtaposition of serious sports passion and humorous mishaps.
Even if to you a real sport is only some dude with a Tiffany credit card, just seeing grown-up guys running around in rompers chasing a small ball - seems like major money.
Aaron Judge has a contract for hundreds of millions of dollars. He could've solved our subway system with just his men's room tips.
This special day began with - oy - grrrr - American singer Betsy Wolfe...BUT SHE DIDN'T - DID NOT! - NOT!! - KNOW THE WORDS. Nice Betsy had to read them off her cellphone.
