Ah One, Ah Two, Ah Three!



Take Me Out To The Ballgame, written by Jack Norworth in 1908, has become a staple of America's Pastime.

Everyone from Ann Murray to Bill Murray have sung the famous ditty, so it was ridiculously hard to choose a video to post.

But really, who sang it better than Harry Caray, and all the Chicago Cubs fans at Wrigley Field? This one in particular is from from 1984 (we think?) the year the Cubs won the NL East title.

Happy 100th birthday to Baseball's National Anthem.

Amen, Megs! Harry Caray was a legend to not just Cubs fans, but to the world of baseball.

I miss the seventh inning stretch at Wrigley with Harry the most...but I wish I could hear him slur some of these new Japanaese players' names.

while i think bert and dick are doing their damnedest to match his drunken antics, it's just not the same.

If I were a woman, I'd date Ryne Sandberg.

dick and bert aren't drunk, they get high during the breaks.

What I recal about Ryne in those last couple of years is him sitting on the bench eating peanuts a lot.
