Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Opening Day of baseball season comes around once a year, and with it comes a new beginning and a new hope as we cheer on the home team. In Baltimore, we hope for a return of Oriole Magic, but we can also just enjoy the game. Here are some photos from past Opening Days.

I will leave you with some lyrics from, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," written in 1908 by Jack Norworth.

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.
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game.
