Once again Ozzy Osbourne proved himself to be the poster child for why not to fry your brain with drugs. In the time-honored tradition of the Chicago Cubs having celebrities lead the singing of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh-inning stretch, Ozzy Osbourne was invited to lead the song yesterday. Needless to say Ozzy has spent most of his life destroying his brain and there is not much left. Listen to the results.
[I don't know if this is legal but I recorded this from ESPN Radio because I couldn't find it anywhere else. If someone knows that it is illegal I will remove it.

That era is over, we've all learned our lessons, but we never would have without pioneering and venturing hero's like Ozzie n' the rest.

The best part was the shots of Cubs and Dodgers players staring out of the dugouts with completely shellshocked looks on their faces. They just couldn't believe what they were hearing. It was lovely.

By the time that Harry made it to the 7th inning he was so drunk that his speach was a slurred as Ozzy's. The only difference is that Harry at least knew the words and was lucid enough to just stick the microphone out the window so that the fans could sing.
