Striking athletes, baseball playoffs and the national anthem

This past Sat­ur­day night found me in one of my favorite places — Gray Chapel — on the evening of a Cen­tral Ohio Sym­phony con­cert. On the long list of things I love about my adopted home­town of Delaware, the sym­phony is right up at the top. In par­tic­u­lar, I was look­ing for­ward to the per­for­mance of Igor Stravinsky’s Fire­bird Suite, which would close the per­for­mance, and is one of my favorite pieces of music.
