BOOK SYNOPSIS
The official tie-in book to the 100th anniversary of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." It's the third most frequently sung song in America, after "Happy Birthday" and "The Star-Spangled Banner," and you'd be hard-pressed to find an American who doesn't know the words. This special edition hardcover book presents the complete story of the song, leading us on a fascinating journey into how "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" has come to take a unique place in our cultural landscape. With images of historical newspaper clippings, baseball cards, sheet music, movie stills, ballplayers at the mic, and of course, Harry Caray leading the crowd at Wrigley, the book also comes packaged with a CD of rare and classic recordings. Features an introduction by baseball commissioner Bud Selig and a foreword by Carly Simon.
