The tradition of a celebrity singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the 7th inning stretch at Wrigley Field has brought us all much joy and amusement on YouTube. From Ozzy Osbourne and Warren G to Jeff Gordon and Jay Cutler, there have been some really bad ones. But in most eyes, Scottie Pippen's takes the cake. The Bulls legend was invited to throw out the first pitch before Game 6 of the NLCS in 2016 during the Cubbies drought-shattering World Series run. The Cubs held a commanding 5-0 lead over the Dodgers heading into the
bottom of the 7th as fans waited nervously for their
team's first trip to the Fall Classic in decades. That's when Pippen, wearing this offered Cubs jersey, gave his tone-deaf rendition that made Harry Carey turn in his grave yet again. As the phrase goes, "so bad it's good."
The Majestic Authentic Collection home pinstriped Cubs jersey (size 48) is customized for Scottie with "PIPPEN" on the back and the Naismith Hall of Famer's jersey No. "33". The shirt shows obvious wear with a few small stains (concessions?) on the front.
Sourced through Pippen's friend. Includes Beckett LOA (A12255) and JSA COA (AA00606) COA from PSA/DNA.
