När take me out to the ball game som först sjöngs?
1934
Take Me Out to the Ball Game
När Jack Norworth åkte tunnelbana inspirerades han av en skylt med texten "Baseball Today - Polo Grounds". I låten ringer Katies kavaljer för att bjuda ut henne på en föreställning. Hon accepterar dejten, men bara om hennes dejt tar med henne på baseballmatchen. Texten är tonsatt av Albert Von Tilzer. (Norworth och Von Tilzer såg slutligen sina första matcher i Major League Baseball 32 respektive 20 år senare). Låten sjöngs först av Norworths dåvarande fru Nora Bayes och populariserades av många andra vaudevilleakter. Den spelades i en bollhall för första kända gången 1934, vid en gymnasiematch i Los Angeles; den spelades senare samma år under den fjärde matchen i 1934 års World Series.
1934
Take Me Out to the Ball Game
Jack Norworth, while riding a subway train, was inspired by a sign that said "Baseball Today – Polo Grounds". In the song, Katie'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 32 and 20 years later, respectively.) 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 1934, at a high-school game in Los Angeles; it was played later that year during the fourth game of the 1934 World Series.
