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"

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.

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.

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,
