Take me out to the ballgame....

This is just a short feel good moment for those still locked in winter’s cold embrace. There are a lot of rituals in baseball but perhaps one of the most ubiquitous is the 7th inning stretch. It’s usually a great chance to sing (or whatever passes for singing in your local ballpark) along with the old standard “Take Me Out To The Ballgame”. The song was first played at a major league game in 1934 during the World Series and has been recognized as one of the 365 Top Songs of the 20th Century. It remains one of my favorite parts of baseball so here’s yesterday’s rendition from Surprise Stadium. You can almost smell the hotdogs and taste the peanuts and Crackerjack... Feel free to sing along!
