"The Story Behind 'Take Me Out To The Ball Game'"

In America, baseball is considered to be the national pastime. Organized baseball was well into its glory years before other sports such as football, basketball, hockey and soccer were even on the map. So it's only natural that one of America's most popular songs relates to the sport.

"Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is a simple tune that tells of a girl who wants her beau to take her to a baseball game instead of to another popular spot. The song turns 100 years old this year, and to commemorate the event, the U.S. Postal Service has issued a beautiful new stamp.
