Irish tenor Ronan Tynan did sing at the ADL annual dinner last night, saying

“I come here tonight … to seek your forgiveness.”

Now will the Yankees bring him back for his regular gig singing “God Bless America” during the 7th inning stretch? At the Wall St. Journal W0rld Series blog, Nando di Fino suggests why they may not want to:

[T]he Yankees have won zero titles since Tynan started singing in 2001. Baseball is a notoriously superstitious sport, and I don’t think I would be accused of being a total conspiracy nut job if I suggested that the whole business with Tynan being ratted out to the Yankees by a pediatrician for allegedly making an anti-Semitic joke at an apartment showing (seriously…why go tattle to the Yankees?) was at least a mini-setup to get Tynan out and break the possible bad luck.
