A song written in 1908 by Jack
Norworth and Albert Von Tilzer, "Take
Me out to the Ball Game" became the
official anthem of baseball. It is the
third-most frequently heard song in
America, behind the national anthem and
Happy Birthday. Norworth who had never
been to a ball game, wrote the lyrics
when he passed the Polo Grounds on an
elevated train and saw a sign that read
“Baseball Today.”
The very first version of "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" was sung by
Harvey Hindermeyer, recorded on a
standard record disc, with Columbia's
"Client" label in 1908. Later that year, the
famous baseball classic was
recorded on an
Edison "Gold Moulded" Cylinder Record.
This rendition of "Take Me out to the
Ball Game;" was performed by Edward
Meeker.
Harmony Records, Talking Machine Company, 618 S. Dearborn St., Chicago,
Ill., released "Take Me Out To The Ball
Game" by Harvey Hindermeyer, in 1911.
Originally Great Northern Mfg. Co. of
Chicago, from about 1907 to 1916, this was
like other Chicago brands of the time
having an oversized size spindle hole.
Harmony was 3/4" in diameter and they
also sold Harmony phonographs. The
records could only be played on its own
large-spindled phonographs. In 1909
American Graphophone Company (Columbia)
took over production. Around 1911
Harmony dropped the Great Northern name
and Harmony Talking Machine Co. was
used afterwards.

Katie Casey was base ball
mad.
Had the fever and had it bad;
Just to root for the home town crew,
Ev'ry sou Katie blew.
On a Saturday, her young beau
Called to see if she'd like to go,
To see a show but Miss Kate said,
"No, I'll tell you what you can do."
"Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game."
Katie Casey saw all the games,
Knew the players by their first names;
Told the umpire he was wrong,
All along good and strong.
When the score was just two to two,
Katie Casey knew what to do,
Just to cheer up the boys she knew,
She made the gang sing this song:
"Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game."
