On the song “Thank You, Noah Lowry”

I am by no means a Tiger’s Jaw fan.  Up until maybe 6-7 months ago, I didn’t even know such a band existed.  & I’m still unfamiliar with them.  & I still only know them for this one song.  It’s not a jab; it is what it is.  But a person I follow posted the song however long ago & I thought I would listen to it.  Because I had an immediate reaction to the title. Because even if I’m not a Tiger’s Jaw fan, I AM a SF Giants fan.  & the only Noah Lowry of merit I know of was a pitcher for a short time for the Giants.  & it’s almost fitting that the song is so painfully short , ending almost abruptly.  Because that’s how Noah’s career was.  It happened.  & then it was gone. I’m not sure if Tiger’s Jaw is made of Giants fans or people who even know how to play baseball, but Noah Lowry… his name isn’t just used as a simple name drop.  & it’s not even a simple tip of the cap homage thing.  Noah...
