Uncle Junior Sings The Best National Anthem

I went to game 1 of the Yankees-Sox yesterday afternoon and not only was a treated to seeing Johnny Pesky number hung in right field, but I also got to see Dominic Chianese, Uncle Junior from the Sopranos, sing one of the best versions of the national anthem I have ever heard. This comes days after Chianese made a play to sing at the final game in Yankee Stadium. They denined his request, but Fenway brass was more than happy to bring in the Bronx native. I couldn’t find the video from yesterday, so let me know if you see it anywhere. So what made his version so good? He sang with more enthusiasm than a 13 year old watching a sybian ride for the first time on Howard TV. Anyway, here is a video from the NY Post about his situation with the pinstripes.
