Skyler Stromsmoe was talking on the phone from the noisy Team Canada bus lurching from Ajax to the Pan Am Games Athletes’ Village in downtown Toronto early Monday morning.
But what was that racket in the background?
The radio?
Teammates re-hashing one of the wildest finishes to a ball game ever seen?
It took a while before the listener could identify it, but it was none other than the Back of the Bus Chorus in the midst of their lone hit:
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
