Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Although I am not a big baseball fan, we received tickets from a friend and spent a lovely afternoon at Reed Park in Tucson. At the seventh inning stretch we sang the song - written in 15 minutes on a train ride back in 1907. The verses to the song describe a young woman's love of the game. The chorus is what she says to her boyfriend when he asks her what she would like to do on a date.
Once upon a long time ago, my grandmother got all the cousins together that were staying with her for the summer, and set us all in positions around the field. We learned to play baseball from her. We learned how to play fair and who was a good sport. Lots of character building can be done by one determined grandmother and a baseball.
