Diabolical Brilliance, Thy Name Is Cleveland

So, let’s say you’re playing a baseball game tonight, and winning that game grants you a spot in the World Series. Let’s also say that in order to do win, you have to beat one of the best pitchers in baseball, who has a history of playoff dominance, including against you. You need an edge…you need to phase him somehow. What do you do?
If you’re the Cleveland Indians, the answer is simple: Hire his ex-girlfriend to sing the national anthem.
Provided this isn’t a coincidence (and I’m going to assume that it isn’t, because it’s more fun that way), this is the most brilliant, evil tactic ever. Seriously.
