Buffalo Tynan
Apr 27th, 2007 | By Joe McDonald | Category: NYSR BlogIf you were hoping to hear Ronan Tynan during the seventh inning stretch tonight at Yankee Stadium, you are out of luck.
The Irish Tenor is signing God Bless America before Game 2 tonight at the HSBC Arena.
Apparently, according to the Buffalo News, Tynan has adopted the team as his hockey outlet. Much like the Yankees, he sings at big events and even was at Nassau Coliseum last week for Game 3 of the Quarterfinals.
Actually, there more to it. The Sabres actually use Tynan for inspiration and has spoke to the team several times. When you walk into the Sabres locker room, there’s a place with this inscription:
“The will is inside you. You just have to bring it out….The team player gets the results. Not one man. If the team is together in thought and in spirit, then you have an army” -Ronan Tynan, Dec 14, 2005
Maybe it will help the Sabres, and Tynan is an amazing man. BUT for my money I would take a John Amirante National Anthem anyday of the week.
