This Electronic Field Trip will take a look at the timeless song, Take Me Out to the Ball Game, written by Jack Norworth and Albert Von Tilzer a century ago. Today, Take Me Out to the Ball Game is synonymous with a baseball game’s seventh-inning stretch, but the song was originally written to be performed on home pianos and the vaudeville stage.

Broadcast LIVE from Brooklyn, NY, this EFT will explore not only the history of Take Me Out to the Ball Game, but also the influence of various musical styles of the past 100 years from vaudeville and swing to rock and hip hop.
