Top 5 Worst "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" Performances
 
To make up for what has been a relatively slow day for sports games news, we have put together an article that everyone who witnessed Tony Romo's butchering of the "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" song this past Sunday should appreciate. We present to you the Top 5 Worst "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" performances of all time.

Note to everybody:

Just because Cubs fans booed them does not mean anything regarding how well they performed the song.



That said, I've seen times where people sung as if there was no music playing for them to keep tempo with. They would start way behind and sing so quickly that they end five seconds before it ends.

exactly right on that first point. Maybe all those bears fans were simply booing the cowboys quaterback? ;)

and this list not having Mike Ditka's rendition? Not a lot of research, I feel.

Why is Eddie Vedder's performance that bad? Aside from saying "game" instead of "shame", everything else was fine. Am I missing something?

Not at all. I noticed that he faded away from his mic so it went from, "Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks" to "Buy me some peanuts and crack..." but really, that's it.

Again, I've heard much worse. Gordon was bad, and not because he said Wrigley Stadium. Otherwise, Romo was just funny and should have been cheered for his hilarity, and you can't ever be mad at Ozzy.

Yeah - other than the "game" instead of "shame"...what is wrong with Vedder's?

I actually liked Hung's rendition and I don't think he said peenus but it's because he slurs his words so much the "t" was silent.

He actually sang it quite well aside from that miscue.
