2008-Take Me Out to the Ball Game Stamps

Full Pane of 20 - .42 Cent Stamps

This issuance commemorates the 100th anniversary of

“Take Me Out to the Ball Game,”

one of the most popular baseball songs of all time.

For decades, the song’s catchy chorus has been part of

the musical tradition at ballparks

around the country, especially during the seventh–inning stretch.

The song was born on a New York City train in the summer of 1908,

when passenger Jack Norworth (1879–1959), an actor, singer,

and songwriter who had never attended a major league ball game,

saw a sign about an upcoming game at the Polo Grounds.

Suddenly inspired, he took out a piece of paper and began

dashing off lines about a fictional fan.
