A lot of people know that "Who'syerdaddy?" is my delayed congratulatory speech to George Bush, Jr. after he was elected president the first time, but few know there's a hidden baseball reference in the song. The line "Just to show that you're not a heartless fool, you do your best Marv Albert at the Cardinal rule" refers to W's stint as a sports announcer during the 2001 College Baseball World Series (Stanford Cardinals vs. Tulane Green Waves). After throwing the opening pitch of the game, W headed to the booth to flaunt his ease with baseball terminology, impressing me enough that I stopped sweeping the floor of a pizza joint to take note. It's a good thing Stanford beat Tulane that day, or else I might have written "You do your best Marv Albert as the Cardinals tool", and that, my friends, would have been much too difficult to explain.
