And now, back in Brooklyn, alternative rockers They Might Be Giants have caught the baseball spirit and are offering to sponsor other teams (details here). They Might Be Giants, recent recipients of the 2009 GRAMMY for Best Children’s album for Here Come the 123s (Editor’s Note: an essential tool in the trick bag of any parent with kids under 5), were delighted to hear the about the new TMBG team. Guitarist John Flansburgh: “It’s very flattering, and the photograph just knocked us out. Seeing an entire Little League team all wearing the ‘No!’ t-shirts just made everyone in the band smile.”
The band was so enthusiastic that they are now offering teams free “No!” shirts in support of getting kids involved in America’s favorite pastime. Flansburgh explains, “If a pizza parlor or a super market can sponsor a team, why can’t a rock band? We’ve posted a free shirt offer on our web site, and as new teams form we’re going to post their group photo alongside the Seattle team. We only have t-shirts to offer right now, but if we can get hats too, we’re up for that.”
Here’s a TGIF moment from TMBG.
