Right.

“Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don’t care if I never get back,
Cause it’s root, root, root for the CUBBIES
If they don’t win it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out,
At the old ball game.”

LETS

GET

SOME

RUNS!

I went to the library today and picked up “Spaulding’s World Tour”. In 1888, Albert Spaulding took a bunch of players around the world to promote baseball.
