I believe there was a statement earlier in the year from the Cubs management that the singers had to be real Chicagoans or celebrities and not somebody who was just out to promote their latest project.
But I don't know how well they have stuck to that as, after over 40 years of disappointment, I gave up following the Cubs last year. ------- Original Message ------- >From : Tom Wolper[mailto:[email protected]] Sent : 7/18/2013 9:10:10 PM To : [email protected] Cc : Subject : RE: Re: [TV orNotTV] Giving Tim McCarver His Due On Thu, Jul 18, 2013 at 8:35 PM, Bob in Jersey <[email protected]> wrote: Mark Jeffries, to either moi or Jim Ellwanger: And of course, in Chicago we still have a "celeb" singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" for the seventh-inning stretch, as God, Bill Veeck and Harry Caray intended. I can't tell from this effing GG page who's replying to whom... Why am I thinking there was a report that either the TMO singer was being canned after this year, or at least being pre-screened as to singing capability, to avert the real disasters e.g. NASCAR icon Jeff Gordon? I don't believe that. It's clear, from watching games on WGN America, that part of the charm comes from people who cannot sing in key or carry a tune. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
