54. I go to lots of ball games.
Kid's games. Travel ball now but little league forever. I quit saying the pledge on March 19, 2003, when we attacked Iraq.

I stand, but do NOT place my hand over my heart or recite the pledge. I do not pledge allegiance to a flag. I pledge allegiance to the constitution. The flag no longer represents that to me.

And trust me people notice. I have been doing it for years now. I also don't like the little league pledge either but stand for that as well.

For those that don't know, it goes like this:

"I trust in God
I love my Country
and will protect it's laws.

I will play fair,
and try to win,
but win or lose,
I will always do my best."

I just don't like the god thing. Set that aside and I'm good on all the other stuff.
