Well not my family, but the Cubs family. Very sad news out of Iowa…
Cubs singing contest winner loses battle with cancer
GUTTENBERG - Dustin Eglseder, the first Chicago Cubs fan to sing “Take Me Out To The Ball Game” at Wrigley Field during the seventh-inning stretch, died in his Guttenberg home Wednesday after a long battle with bone cancer. He was 23.
Eglseder, a former high school third baseman, underwent surgery May 31, 2007, to have a bone removed from his right arm after being diagnosed with bone cancer in the spring of 2007.
He lost his pitching arm, but the voice he had nurtured in high school chorus and chamber choir made him a star when he was chosen by fans from among thousands of entrants to sing the song last Sept. 21.
