Take Me Out To The Ballgame Mystery Cache

On May 2, 1908, the United States Copyright Office received two copies of a new song titled, Take Me Out to the Ball Game. They were submitted by composer Albert von Tilzer and lyricist Jack Norworth, even though neither of the men had ever attended a ballgame. This musical work, affectionately referred to over the century as the "other" national anthem or "baseball's national anthem", has become the grand-slam of all baseball songs. It has been ranked in survey polls as one of the top ten songs of the twentieth century and is second only to "Happy Birthday" and "The Star Spangled Banner" as the most easily recognized song in America.

Critics have described the lyrics as crude, but singable, and puzzle over the chartbuster's instant success. Fans of the song, however, insist that it is the sheer simplicity and straightforwardness of the words, gender-neutral and shrewdly crafted so as not to name or favor any one team. That coupled with von Tilzer's luring waltz-like rhythms and unforgettable melody sealed the baseball ditty's success. (Library of Congress article).

Alternate versions of the song have been written since 1908 and sung by a variety of artists. Often the line, “Root, root, root, for the home team” is changed to Root, root, root for whatever team is playing, as in, “Root, root, root for the Red Sox." Now, listen to some different renditions of the unofficial anthem of North American baseball:
