Writing about the pit orchestra director's Busch Stadium remark in Wednesday's post reminded me of a commercial jingle that hadn't crossed my mind in years. One of the earliest memories I have of Cardinal baseball on KMOX in the late '70s and early '80s is the jingle, "We love baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet." It was also used in Chevrolet's TV commercials.
Talk about portraying baseball as America's national pastime and Chevrolet as an American auto manufacturer in a sing-along format...Decades later, it still hasn't left my mind.
