One great thing about this World Series

before they even start playing: we get to hear "O Canada," the most beautiful and national-anthemish national anthem I've heard.

We can also mute ours so as not to be embarrassed by the difference.

I’d love if we could somehow, someday, change our anthem to America the Beautiful. It’s much more representative of our country.

It's so nellifluous and anthemish that I can overlook the mention of the mythological Christian deity. Usually, that's a killer for me
