As the hardreading staff noted the other day, both local dailies either missed or glossed over the National Anthem Flub by Sickly Sweet Baby James Taylor at Game 2 of the World’s Serious.
To its sort of credit, however, the Sunday Boston Herald did sort of correct the record (without actually acknowledging the omission).
From yesterday’s Inside Track:
After James Taylor’s mini-flub on the national anthem in Game 2 of the World Series, the pressure was on Game 3 singer Colbie Caillat to hit it out of the park last night — and the “Bubbly” singer was feeling it! . . .
Taylor, a grizzled veteran who’s done three World Series anthems at Fenway, had a little blip in Game 2 when he started singing “America The Beautiful” instead of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
No such recalibration in the Boston Sunday Globe Names column, though.
The hardbetting staff is laying plenty of 8-to-5 there never will be.
