Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
In the end, the Bartman Ball’s destruction was more bust than blast.
If you missed it–which you might have because there was little notice before the ball turned into a pile of string–the event started off with an awkward speech, an awkward pause and a call for drinks before Harry Caray’s widow, Dutchie, sang “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.”
A few seconds later–poof–the wretched ball looked like a plate of brown spaghetti.
They got the pyrotechnics guy from “Jurassic Park” to do this?
