Ozzy Osbourne to Lead Record-Breaking Scream Attempt for Charity

Thinking about Ozzy Osbourne at a baseball stadium makes us remember the time in 2003 when he forgot the words to 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' while singing the song on air at Chicago's Wrigley Field. Undaunted by the past, the metal legend has decided to return to the old ball game today in Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium, where he'll encourage the sold-out crowd to break the Guinness Book of Worlds Record for the longest and loudest scream.

During the the fifth inning break of a game in which the Dodgers play the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Ozzy and his wife Sharon will command the audience to scream like they've never screamed before for 'Scream for a Cure,' part of the third annual ThinkCure! Weekend for the fight against cancer.

Ozzy and Stuart Claxton of the Guinness Book of World Records will take the field for the event and the crowd's scream will be measured in length and audio level. In addition, the stadium will air a promotional message recorded for ThinkCure! by Sharon, a cancer survivor. The ad will also air online and during the ThinkCure! telethon.

Fans can also donate to the ThinkCure! Weekend online at www.dodgers.com/thinkcureweekend and www.thinkcure.org, by calling (866) 554-CURE or by texting CURE to 50555 to make a $10 donation through their mobile phone bill. Last year's ThinkCure! online auction raised more than $50,000 to fund collaborative and innovative cancer research.

ThinkCure! is a community-based non-profit that accelerates collaborative research to cure cancers. It was launched in July 2007 by the Los Angeles Dodgers, the McCourt family, City of Hope and Childrens Hospital Los Angeles.

Ozzy Osbourne's new album, appropriately titled 'Scream,' will come out June 22.
