Monday Diversion: Mr. T's Interesting Take on "Ballgame"

By Marcus Gilmer in Miscellaneous on May 26, 2009 8:00PM

It's really not fair to pick on any one celebrity singer of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the 7th Inning Stretch at Wrigley Field. There have certainly been ones more awful than the beloved, mohawk'd icon Mr. T. And we're big fans of the T, especially when he does jury duty. But, still, we'd rather he kept to telling us to treat our mothers right.

And though it's been suggested before, we still don't think anything will be lost by just playing a tape of Harry Caray singing instead of the "celebrity of the night."
