182 – Take Me Out to the Ball Game . . . has verses?

“Take Me Out to the Ball Game” by Albert von Tilzer and Jack Norworth is America’s second national anthem. Many Americans don’t even remember learning it because it is such a natural part of childhood. But worldwide it’s not known very well, and even the biggest baseball fans may not know that this song has verses, which are all about a girl who is the biggest baseball fan ever.

“Take Me Out to the Ball Game” is in the public domain. I have arranged the song for intermediate and beginner piano players, shifting the key down to C to make it easier to play and sing. If enough people are interested I can do a full transcription of the original sheet music in its key of D. This original version would be for advanced piano players.
