The New York Yankees hosted the Detroit Tigers in the Bronx last night and everything was perfectly normal as two teams who will not be playing October baseball neared the end of their obligations. Until the traditional singing of God Bless America in the seventh inning when Donald Trump supporters unfurled an enormous flag reading "Trump or Death" from the mezzanine.
This double line of baseball fans ends on the other side of Yankee Stadium, where the entrance to the Rotunda is located. On August 18, 1948, thousands of people from all walks of life stood on line during the day for the opportunity of passing by the body of Babe Ruth, who had died of cancer two days before, as it lay in state in the rotunda of the ballpark where he achieved his greatest fame.
