Pickin? it: Slash, famed Guns N? Roses guitarist, plucked the national anthem on his electric guitar before Game 2. The rendition didn?t do much for me, but I was outvoted by the horde of photographers engulfing him and those in the crowd who gave him a rousing ovation. (He also strummed ?God Bless America? during the seventh-inning stretch, and it just didn?t seem appropriate.)

I was there, took some pics from way up high.

This is the second time I've seen Slash at a sporting event!  Just can't avoid the guy, even at a place where I'm supposed to have fun.  :hihi:
