Join us in supporting 'The Common Fan Sings.' Do You remember the SHAWON-O-METER Dave Cihla, the inventor of the renowned poster displaying Shawon Dunston's historic batting average, carried his creation to more than 60 games in 1989. The Shawon-O-Meter's penetration into pop culture led to its inclusion at the Smithsonian Institution, National Baseball Hall of Fame, and the Chicago History Museum. "A lot of times, I'd be by myself - always in the left-field bleachers, I'd come kind of late, walk down the aisle, and people would be like, HEEY!!! It's the Shawon-O-Meter guy!!!" said Dave Cihla in "Cubbie Blues: 100 years of Waiting Till Next Year." To celebrate his commitment to the Cubs and the 20th Anniversary of his SHAWON-O-METER, Dave Cihla is campaigning to lead "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the Seventh Inning Stretch on June 12 at Wrigley Field. Can't Miss Press, publisher of Cubbie Blues: 100 Years of Waiting Till Next Year, supports Dave and his efforts to open this and other recognition opportunities for Cubs fans through his campaign, "The Common Fan Sings." Please join us in signing this petition.

Cubs FO needs to make this happen. Dave put in the work for years when the team was bad. Show some respect.

The Shawon-O-Meter is literally part of history now. Why not let him lead the song? It would be so cool.

Bring him back to Wrigley. It would be a great way to honor the real fans who stuck around through the tough seasons.

Dave is a legend. He was always there in the bleachers back in the day. Get this man a microphone for the 7th inning stretch!
