It's quite a hoot. Jack Norworth, while riding a subway train, was inspired by a sign that said "Baseball Today � Polo Grounds". In the song, Katie's beau calls to ask her out to see a show. She accepts the date, but Wedding only if her date will take her out to the baseball game. Anniversaries The words were set to music by Albert Von Tilzer. (Norworth and Von Tilzer finally saw their first Major League Baseball games 32 and 20 years later, respectively.) The song was first sung by Norworth's then-wife Nora No Wedding Anniversaries Bayes and popularized by many other vaudeville acts. It was played at a ballpark for the first known time in Found 1934, at a high-school game in Los Angeles; it was played later that year during the fourth game of the 1934 World Series. Club Leaders Norworth wrote an alternative version of the song in 1927. (Norworth and Bayes were famous for writing and performing such hits as "Shine On, Harvest Moon".) With the sale of so many records, sheet music, and piano Ann C. Wade rolls, the song became one of the most popular hits of 1908. The Haydn Quartet singing group, led by popular President tenor Harry MacDonough, recorded a successful version on Victor Records. The most famous recording of the song was credited to "Billy Murray and the Haydn Quartet", even though Murray did not sing on it. The confusion, nonetheless, is so pervasive that, when "Take Me Out to the Ball Walter Oles Jr Game" was selected by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Recording Industry Association of America President-Elect as one of the 365 top "Songs of the Century", the song was credited to Billy Murray, implying his recording of it as having received the most votes among songs from the first decade. The first recorded version was by Edward Meeker. Meeker's recording was selected by the Library of Congress as a 2010 addition to the National Jason M Contino Recording Registry, which selects recordings annually that are "culturally, historically, or aesthetically Secretary significant".

Officer Service Projects Schedule By Dennis Loomis Meals on Wheels Our Club�s Meals on Wheels Committee would like to make you aware of this service opportunity. One of RCNT�s on-going service projects is its sponsorship of the NT1 and NT2 routes each Monday for Meals on Wheels. We have recently had a team-member resign. The remaining team members are sufficient to cover the routes, however I would like to see if we could get one RCNT member who would like to join our team as either a substitute or full-time team member for the September through December time period. The person could then decide if they want to stay on the team starting in January as either a sub or full-time person. Team members are normally scheduled for seven or eight routes per year and given the opportunity for input into the schedule. If something comes up, team members are good about trading and I am normally available to cover if no one else can. Both of our routes are in the Tampa Palms or New Tampa regions (Hillsborough County); take about 90 minutes to complete; and start at the Lutheran Church in Tampa Palms at 1130 AM and end there at about 1 pm. Anyone who may wish to consider this service opportunity could ride with one of our volunteers to learn the procedures and see if this would be something they would like to do. In order to become a volunteer, one must undergo a free background check with Meals on Wheels and attend an orientation session which typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes. They also must ride with either myself or one of our other volunteers before doing their own route. Please contact Dennis Loomis, [email protected], if you would like to volunteer.
