“Take Me Out to the Ball Game” is Jack Norworth’s iconic hit and was the number one song in the country for seven weeks in 1908, the longest for any song that year. Typically played during the seventh inning stretch, Norworth wrote the lyrics when he passed the Polo Grounds on an elevated train and saw a sign that read “Baseball Today.” Jack Norworth's signature appears on the front cover in blue ink along with a personalized message. Visually this piece appears to be excellent but the technical grade is VG from a small piece of tape and a couple of small tears on the bottom edge.
