"A ballpark organist is part of the unobtrusive background of baseball, or used to be, until most were quietly silenced by time and outsourced by recorded music."

Zot!
It seems that the LSU Tigers baseball team's next opponent in their attempt at another College World Series championship will be the UC Irvine Anteaters. Anteaters! Anteaters.

[Note this from the Wikipedia: "The Anteater mascot was promoted by 3 students in UCI's founding year, Bob Ernst and Pat Glasgow of the water polo team, and rowing team member Schuyler Bassett. The mascot name was brought to a vote to the student body where irregularities were suspected in the voting process."]
