As an analogy (of which this thread reminded me), last year our town
had auditions for "Miss Fourth of July," who would sing the anthem
before our fireworks display. My daughter (then a fourth grader) was a
participant, as the age range went from hers through high-school age.
Well, the winner was a high school senior who sang in the choir and did
musical theater.
Make no mistake: the winner was fantastic, and deserved the win under
the format of the contest, but the overall effect was that t-ballers
got fed to Roger Clemens.
