Take me out to the ballgame
Take me out with the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack
I don't care if I never get back
For it's root root root for the home team
If they don't win it's a shame
For it's one, two, three strikes you're out
At the ol' ballgame

3. To the ball game take me out
With the crowd buy me some
Peanuts and Cracker Jack, I don't care
If I ever get back, for it's root, root, root
For the home team, if they don't
Win it's a shame, for it's one
Two, three strikes you're out at the old ball game
Take me out!



—Peter Yarrow

(That's the way we used to sing it at minor league games.)

9. We used to get the funniest looks when we sang it
People were like, "Okay, I know you're doing something to that song... but what??"

11. It's still ordained by Major League Baseball
No longer at every game, thank dog, but on Sundays, on "patriotic" holidays, at the All-Star Game and throughout post-season.

Isn't one incidence of forced patriotism per game enough?
