This story is only tangentially linked to baseball, but it's a slow Saturday afternoon, so what the heck. As you'll see below, former pro wrestler Jake "The Snake" Roberts led the Turner Field crowd in "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during last night's game between the Dodgers and Braves.
Roberts (whose real name is Aurelian Smith, Jr.) doesn't have the best singing voice, but that shouldn't come as any surprise to those who watched him wrestle in the 80s and 90s.
The 57-year-old Roberts has had all sorts of issues with drug and alcohol addiction, but he has cleaned himself up recently with the help of another former pro wrestler, Diamond Dallas Page. These days, Roberts is doing things like tweeting pictures of his gluten-free cookie mix. 2013 is weird, man. But in all seriousness, it's nice to hear that he is making an effort to turn his life around.
