    Play Ball! Baseball Is America's National Pastime

    Play Ball! Baseball is America’s National Pastime This Is America Presents a Program of Baseball Songs and Poetry From VOA Learning English, welcome to This Is America. I'm Steve Ember. Baseball is a sport that began in the eastern United States in the 1800s. It became known as the "national pastime," a game that millions of people continue to enjoy each spring and summer. Major league baseball recently opened its new season. So this is a good time to explore the influence of baseball on popular culture, including music and poetry. Many songs and poems have been written about baseball, and today, Shirley Griffith and I will tell you about some of them. Baseball expert Warner Fusselle writes that there are probably more than 1,000 songs about baseball. The most popular is "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." It was written in 1908 by Jack Norworth. He wrote it after seeing a sign about baseball in an underground train in New York City. His friend, Albert Von Tilzer, put the words to music. Mr. Norworth reportedly had never seen a major league baseball game. He did not see one until 33 years after he wrote the song. Seventh Inning – Time for Stretching and Singing! People still sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during baseball games. 1 learningenglish.voanews.com | Voice of America | May 5, 2014 [Seventh inning stretch at a Chicago Cubs game] Near the end of the game, people become tired of sitting on the hard seats. So, during a special time in the game, everyone stands up and stretches their arms and legs.

    History of Belleville, Illinois. Pub:1951

    L I E) RAR.Y OF THE UNIVERSITY Of ILLINOIS 377. 389 Na7K SURVei ILL. HIST. A HISTORY OF BELLEVILLE BY Alvin Louis Nebelsick, B.S.; A.M. Head of Department of Social Studies Township High School and Junior College Belleville, Illinois rv ' /v ^ DEDICATION This work is affectionately dedicated to the Pioneers and Progressive Citizens of Our City of Belleville, Illinois. ^ o^ VI PREFACE This volume is largely the result of an inspiration for writing acquired as co-author of two magazine articles, one in our state professional magazine, "Illinois Education," May, 1937, and the other in a national professional magazine, "Social Studies," February, 1939. I have discovered that there is an appalling lack of information about local communities among the citizens as a whole. I believe community interest should always be encouraged. Surely we need not be reminded that the very foundation of democratic government is to be found in the communities and in the ability of the citizens to deal success- fully with their local problems. To understand these problems is a complicated matter so we must plan intelligently. This I believe impossible without a knowledge of our past. Our history is so much alive and growing that I find it hard to see how anyone can think of it as dead and dry. History always looks forward, not backward; it is dynamic, not static. Out of the world of yesterday, the world of today has grown; out of the world of today, will come the world of tomorrow. It is impossible to understand fully the present without a knowledge of the conditions which have brought it about; and it is equally impossible to make intelligent decisions for the future as we have only an uncomprehending view of the age in which we live.
  • Lou Gehrig the Last Time Lou Gehrig’S Name Appeared in a Baseball Box Score

    Lou Gehrig the Last Time Lou Gehrig’S Name Appeared in a Baseball Box Score

    A Schott From The Bleachers Lou Gehrig The Last Time Lou Gehrig’s Name Appeared in a Baseball Box Score by Arthur O. Schott The following are excerpts from the Kansas City Times covering the game of Monday, June 12, 1939 – an exhibition contest at Kansas City. This was the last time Lou Gehrig’s name appeared in a baseball box score. “And all the Yankee notables performed at least for part of the game. The starting lineup found Joe DiMaggio playing in center, Bill Dickey behind the bat and Frank Crosetti at short. You even found the venerable Lou Gehrig, most popular of all the Yankees, at first base. “Lou played by popular demand. He hadn’t intended to play at all, but Lou is an obliging fellow and so he accommodated. After taking one turn at the bat in the second, when he grounded to Priddy, he retired in favor of Babe Dahlgren.
