See media help."Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is a 1. Tin Pan Alley song by Jack Norworth and Albert Von Tilzer which has become the unofficial anthem of North American baseball, although neither of its authors had attended a game prior to writing the song.[1] The song (chorus only) is traditionally sung during the middle of the seventh inning of a baseball game. Fans are generally encouraged to sing along, and at some ballparks, the words "home team" are replaced with the team name. History of the song[edit]Jack Norworth, while riding a subway train, was inspired by a sign that said "Baseball Today – Polo Grounds".
In the song, Katie's (and later Nelly's) beau calls to ask her out to see a show. She accepts the date, but only if her date will take her out to the baseball game.
The words were set to music by Albert Von Tilzer. Norworth and Von Tilzer finally saw their first Major League Baseball games 3.
The song was first sung by Norworth's then- wife Nora Bayes and popularized by many other vaudeville acts. It was played at a ballpark for the first known time in 1. Los Angeles, and researchers think it made its debut at a major- league park later that year. Norworth wrote an alternative version of the song in 1. Norworth and Bayes were famous for writing and performing such smash hits as "Shine On, Harvest Moon".)[2][3] With the sale of so many records, sheet music, and piano rolls, the song became one of the most popular hits of 1. The Haydn Quartetsinging group, led by popular tenor Harry Mac.
Donough, recorded a successful version on Victor Records.[4]The most famous recording of the song was credited to "Billy Murray and the Haydn Quartet", even though Murray did not sing on it.[5] The confusion, nonetheless, is so pervasive that, when "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" was selected by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Recording Industry Association of America as one of the 3. Songs of the Century", the song was credited to Billy Murray, implying his recording of it as having received the most votes among songs from the first decade.[6] The first recorded version was by Edward Meeker. Meeker's recording was selected by the Library of Congress as a 2. National Recording Registry, which selects recordings annually that are "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[7]Below are the lyrics of the 1.

Take me out to the ball game,Take me out with the crowd; Just buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,I don't care if I never get back.

In the 1. 93. 5 Marx Brothers' film "A Night at the Opera", in one of the more unusual uses of the song, composer Herbert Stothart arranged for a full pit orchestra to segue seamlessly from the overture of Il trovatore into the chorus of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game". A 1. 95. 4 version by Stuart Mc. Kay [1. 3] shifted the lyrics two syllables forward to make the song end surprisingly early. In Mc. Kay's version the initial "Take me" was sung as an unaccented pickup, causing the final "Game" to land on the same note as "Old" in the original, and leaving last two notes unsung.
