In America, baseball is called the national pastime. Organized baseball was well into its glory years before other sports such as football, basketball, hockey and soccer were drawing much of an audience. It is only natural that one of America's most popular sing-along songs relates to the sport.
'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' is a simple tune that tells of a girl who wants her beau to take her to a baseball game instead of to another popular spot. The song turns 100 years old this year, and the United States Postal Service has commemorated the event with a beautiful new stamp. LINK: Presurfer

Thanks for linking to my article "The Story Behind 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game." I appreciate the recognition.
ReplyDeleteMy blog is dedicated to stamp collectors, but every week I have a "Fun Friday" post that is of interest to collectors and non-collectors alike. Be sure to drop by and see if it is something you can use on your blog.
Thanks again!
