Get Off His Lawn. But Do It Quietly
-
Mark Bowden is the guy who wrote serious books like "Black Hawk Down," but he's also a baseball fan in general and a Phillies fan in particular, and he has a simple request of the team: for once, cut out all the noise and music and attempts at "entertainment" on the Citizens Bank Park P.A. and just let fans hear the game with maybe a little organ music and that's it, no pulsating walk-up music, no exhortations for fans to make noise, just the crack of the bat and the chatter of the players and the cheers of the fans. You might find this appealing, or you might think it's old-fart thinking. I know some teams have tried this; are you inclined to want natural sound only or are you OK with EDM and mascot races?
