Glanville on Ozzy
Wild Pitches: Ozzy on the loose (Jayson Stark, ESPN.com, 8/20/2003)
There are some great quotes from Doug Glanville in this column on Ozzy Osbourne’s “rendition” of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” An excerpt:
“I saw it as a call of the wild,” Glanville theorized. “I was looking around to see if some herd of wild emu or wild water buffalo were coming to meet their master. But it never happened – because he was so off-key. But I’m sure there are probably many wild habitats where, if you played that, they would have really felt it. They’d have formed all kinds of mysterious formations, I bet. So we need to take this tape and play it in various habitats and jungles, wild-animal environments, and see how everything responds.”
There’s more, and there’s also some good stuff from Glanville later in the column on the 8 hour game (rain delay included) the Cubs and Diamondbacks played August 1.
