Sarge Matthews To Sing During 7th Inning Stretch At Wrigley
Posted by meech.one at 9:30 pm ET 2 Comments

Are you holding onto your Borsalino’s, Sarge fans?

Good. Because this Thursday night, when the Cubs and Phillies kick off their all-important 4-game series at Wrigley, everyone’s favorite colorman will be singing “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” during the 7th inning stretch. Incredible, right?

Sure, the whole idea of performing this song at The Friendly Confines is to root for the Cubbies, but being that he resides in Chicago and used to play for the North Siders means he gets a temporary one-day pass. Just make sure you’re in front of your TV after the Phillies bat in the 7th inning — I guarantee it’ll be fantastic. And if you somehow miss it, rest assured: I’ll have the video up by Friday morning.

Below, you will find a clip of Sarge and Scott Franzke from WPHT 1210 last night where Sarge announces his new gig and exclaims, “The worst you are, the better they like it.” Below that is a tremendous photo from the 7th Annual Gary Maddux BBQ Challenge, apropos of nothing.

    I’ll be at the game Thursday night, and this is a great bonus. I hear he will also do the chicken dance during the 8th inning. Last time I was out there to see thre phils, Harry sang.

    “The worst you are, the better they like it.”

    Sadly, that is his philosophy for sports announcing, as well.
