comedy central insider
From the Tosh.0 blog…
The iconic Mr. T took a lot of flak on ESPN (and, subsequently, on the net) after his appearance yesterday at Wrigley Field, throwing out the opening pitch for the Chicago Cubs on Memorial Day and leading the crowd in "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."
But give T a break. The blame rests squarely on the Cubbies. What the heck does Mr. T have to do with Memorial Day? Wearing the stars and stripes as pants was the only way he could look relevant. Sure, he briefly served in the Army, but is this really how the city of Chicago wants to pay their respects to America's fallen… with '80's nostalgia and empathetic ogling of a fallen celebrity?
"I pity the Cubs' promotional department's sensibilities."

Mr. T is the man. This is so funny. I have him as the voice on my GPS. It’s the real Mr. T and it’s as funny as watching this. I got it from a company that does real celebrity voices for GPS. They have people like Dennis Hopper, Burt Reynolds, Gary Busey… and of course Mr. T. I think the site was called Navtones, or nav-tones. If you like Mr. T as much as I do, you gotta check it out.
I wish I had have been at this baseball game. Mr. T singing live, come on, you can’t beat that!
“You Out!”
