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. -

Ray Hardee, “Wolfpack Twirler” ©Diamondsinthedusk.Com
Ray Hardee, “Wolfpack Twirler” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com On June 4, 1942, four days after signing with the Philadelphia Athletics off the campus of North Carolina State College, bespectacled right-hander Ray Hardee makes his professional baseball debut with the Wilmington Blue Rocks. Starting the nightcap of an Interstate (B) League doubleheader against the Harrisburg Senators, the 21-year-old Hardee begins his professional career by throwing 12 straight balls and walking the first three Senator batters before be- ing relieved by Virgil Feeney. The 21-year-old Feeney will eventually absorb the loss in a 7-3 defeat. Hardee appears in only three games with the Blue Rocks before being demoted to the Newport News Builders of the Virginia (C) League where he goes 8-5 in 15 appearances. Following a four-year stint in the Army during World War II, the Clayton, North Carolina native returns in 1946 and will pitch five more seasons in the minors, finishing in 1950 with the Greensboro Patriots and a 47-39 career mark. On July 13, 1946, Hardee hurls a no-hitter for the Angier-Fuquay Springs Bulls Ray Hardee in a 13-0 Tobacco (D) League win over ex-major leaguer Van Lingle Mungo 1942 North Carolina State College Wolfpack and the Clinton Blues. A year later, pitching for the Raleigh Capitals, Hardee wins both ends of a Carolina League doubleheader (August 18, 1947) against the Greensboro Patriots striking out 14 and allowing only six hits in a pair of complete game victories. Hardee is a career-best 18-12 for the Capitals in 1947, earning both a berth on the Carolina League All-Star team and a free agent contract with the National League’s Boston Braves. -
