My father is in the finals of a contest with the Cubs to sing the 7th inning stretch at a game in Wrigley field and we need your vote for him to win!

He entered the contest by sending in an online form months ago-- it was a long shot. From thousands of participants who submitted an online form, he was selected and took a trip up to Chicago a week ago, along with 1000 other people who made the 1st cut, to tell the Cubs why he wanted to sing for them and give them an audition. view the video here

You guessed it...He made that cut too!! So now he's part of just 50 people who have their audition videos online for the entire world to see. (or whoever happens to click on an obscure link at the cubs.com site...)

For some sick reason, he really wants to win so that he can lead the whole crowd in a rousing chorus. I took pity on him and voted for him to win. I hope you do too!

My dad's name is Tom, and I'm sure that if you view the other videos listed for today (July 29th), you'll agree that he's the best.

I'm not really a baseball fan, but my father is definitely into this contest, so I say GO CUBBIES!!!

Note: You have to enter some personal information in order to vote, but you can opt out of any future communications if you don't want to be bothered.
