About this product

Product Information

For anyone who has ever sung ""Take Me Out to the Ball Game"" during the seventh-inning stretch and wondered why we sing it when we are already at the ball game, this entertaining book supplies the answers. This story, told here in full for the first time, evokes the bright hope of turn-of-the-century America, the backstage drama of vaudeville, and the beguiling charm of baseball itself.

"Take Me Out to the Ball Game: The Story of the Sensational Baseball Songis just a great story about how something so commonplace-singing during the seventh inning stretch-began as such an unlikely prospect. . . . Authors Amy Whorf McGuiggan and Mike Veeck dish up pure Americana in telling the story of song meets baseball."-Dan Danbom,Time Out for Entertainment, " Take Me Out to the Ball Game: The Story of the Sensational Baseball Song is just a great story about how something so commonplace-singing during the seventh inning stretch-began as such an unlikely prospect. . . . Authors Amy Whorf McGuiggan and Mike Veeck dish up pure Americana in telling the story of song meets baseball."-Dan Danbom, Time Out for Entertainment, "McGuiggan has painstakingly researched the cultural and historical times from which the beloved song emerged and has given baseball fans her own picturesque play-by-play of the making of the hit song. If the song vividly captures the experience of going to the ball game, so too does this book capture the spirit of the times.
