A Big Thanks to "Must Be in the Front Row"

The Cubs are playing an important series against the Brewers this week. The team has been more than a little bit flat for awhile, and Tuesday, they were continuing and down 3-1 in the bottom of the seventh.

Ever since ol' Harry Carey died, the Cubs have enlisted guest singers for the seventh inning stretch "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." Today was Milwaukee Brewer announcer and cut up, Bob Uecker's turn. He sang great until he got to the root part. He sang, "And it's root, root, root for the Brewers, if they don't win it's a shame."

Sacrilege. Pulling for another team at Wrigley. The fans immediately started up the song again, this time with the correct words.

Those flat Cubs came alive and scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh and went on to win the game. Was it possible that they were mad at Uecker's rendition? I like to think so. So, thanks a lot, Bob Uecker.

Unfortunately, he didn't sing yesterday and the Cubs lost.

In case you're wondering about the title, Bob did a famous commercial for Miller Lite. He was in a ball park and sat down about twenty rows back. An usher came up to him and said he was in the wrong seat. Old Bob said to another fan, "I must be in the front row." Next, we see him sitting all the way up in the nosebleed seats.

Proposing to Pay Bob Uecker to Sing at All Cubs Games Now. As Long As He Root, Root, Roots For the Other Team, That Is.  --RoadUke
