Vote for Zakk Wylde in ESPN’s ‘Baseball Tonight’ theme song contest

ESPN enlisted a number of musicians to provide interpretations of the theme song of the show Baseball Tonight during the 2011 season. Now they want the fans to help them crown the best version of them all.

For 11 weeks, ESPN will have two artists square off in a poll for fans to vote on. The winner will then face the next artist on the schedule and so on until the final week, when they’ll see who is the last one standing.

Right now rapper and producer J. Cole is on a roll, winning for the fourth consecutive week by defeating singer-songwriter Steve Earle in last week’s matchup. Now Cole takes on Black Label Society guitarist Zakk Wylde in Week 9 (you can hear the two versions below). So we’re calling all headbangers to vote for Father Zakk and take this one home for Team Metal! Vote right here.
