Singing “Take Me out to the Ballgame” during the seventh-inning stretch at Wrigley Field on Monday was a man familiar to Chicago fans, Mike Ditka.
Today's 7th inning stretch at Wrigley will be performed by…..
Wait for it……
Ditka!

The Super Bowl-winning coach’s rendition was highly anticipated to not only Chicago Cubs’ fans, but to anyone who remembered his original performance.
This one went just as well.

Naturally, that drew many responses on Twitter.
Oh wow was Ditka bad today. Classic.

If the @Cubs lose this game, I'm blaming Ditka. Pretty sure what he just did to "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" is a felony in at least 48 states. https://t.co/fONzryO1df

I think the @Cubs were punishing the Brewers fans that came to Wrigley today by having Ditka sing the stretch.

Mike Ditka's slam poetry version of the 7th inning stretch was beautiful. @Cubs #Game163

It’s probably not the worst idea.
