NOTES:
 
   The sheet music for "Baseball" (America's Favorite Game) was published and copyrighted in 1939 by Words and Music Inc. The song written by Tom Waring, Paul Gibbons, & Graig Leitch was featured and performed by the Pennsylvanians, on Fred Waring's 15 minute Radio Show, "Chesterfield Pleasure Time. "Baseball" (America's Favorite Game) was the first tune Fred Waring and The Pennsylvanians played on the September 30, 1941 for the NBC Network broadcast.

 The last lines of the song, a far cry from the lyric written for "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" are "They sell peanuts and popcorn and cigarettes too, mostly the brand that we offer to you. Its Base Ball, Base Ball Americas Favorite Game."

 The white & blue title sheet pictures Fred Waring, with Poley McClintock, and Paul Douglas gripping the handle of a baseball bat in a "choosing sides" manner, all in black & white. Paul Douglas was the announcer on the radio show. The back cover features a Chesterfield Cigarette ad. The inside of the sheet music at the bottom Reads "Tune in Fred Warings "Chesterfield Pleasure Time" Broadcast Monday's through Fridays ... NBC Coast-to Coast Network"

  Base Ball, Base Ball, America Favorite Game
Where thousands will gather and work up a lather,
 but each day they play it the same.
Where a player is cheered if he catches a fly,
certainly booed if he lets it go by.
Its Base Ball Base Ball Americas Favorite Game.

Base Ball, Base Ball, America Favorite Game
Where thousands will gather and work up a lather,
 but each day they play it the same.
Where a fly is a ball and a ball is a foul,
foul is a hit not a bit like an owl,
Its Base Ball Base Ball Americas Favorite Game.

Base Ball, Base Ball, America Favorite Game
Where thousands will gather and work up a lather,
 but each day they play it the same.
Where a player will steal, and it isn't a crime,
is if the player is not home in time,
Its Base Ball Base Ball Americas Favorite Game.

Base Ball, Base Ball, America Favorite Game
Where thousands will gather and work up a lather,
 but each day they play it the same.e.
Where Majors and Minors are not music keys,
Giants are not any bigger than bees
Its Base Ball Base Ball Americas Favorite Game.

Base Ball, Base Ball, America Favorite Game
Where thousands will gather and work up a lather,
 but each day they play it the same.
When the bases are loaded, its really a thrill,
somebody steps up and murders that pill.
Its Base Ball Base Ball Americas Favorite Game.

Base Ball, Base Ball, America Favorite Game
Where thousands will gather and work up a lather,
 but each day they play it the same.
With caps like a jokey ad pants like a child,
catchers are muzzled and pitchers go wild.
Its Base Ball Base Ball Americas Favorite Game.

Base Ball, Base Ball, America Favorite Game
Where thousands will gather and work up a lather,
 but each day they play it the same.

Swinging he misses, the game is like that.
Its Base Ball Base Ball Americas Favorite Game.

Base Ball, Base Ball, America Favorite Game
Where thousands will gather and work up a lather,
 but each day they play it the same.
They sell peanuts and popcorn and cigarettes too,
mostly the brand that we offer to you.
