Vote for Punch Brothers on ESPN

Vote in the ESPN Take Me Out To The Ballgame pollBrance posted a few weeks back about the online fan poll on ESPN’s Baseball Tonight web site to choose among nine new versions of the venerable diamond classic, Take Me Out To The Ballgame.

The competition was arranged to mark the 100th anniversary of the song’s first appearance, and the show’s producers asked nine popular artists to submit their versions.

Among the contestants is an entry from Chris Thile and Punch Brothers, who offer a take on the song featuring the well-known bluegrass combo of banjo, mandolin, fiddle, guitar and bass.

Semi-final voting ends this weekend, and the top three videos will be announced on the Sunday July 6 edition of Baseball Tonight (7:00 p.m. EDT), with a final winner named on July 13.

Here’s the Punch Brothers video entry for your consideration…

Be sure to vote for Punch Brothers and help Baseball Tonight honor two traditions with their winner – baseball… and bluegrass!
