Inspired by the Chicago Cubs’ World Series win in 2016, this chime is tuned to the opening notes of Take Me Out to the Ball Game, a Tin Pan Alley song written in 1908 by Jack Norworth and put to music by Albert Von Tilzer.
The song was first played at a Major League Baseball game during the 4th game of the 1934 World Series. Nowadays it’s sung at baseball games in North America, always during the seventh-inning stretch, with the crowd enthusiastically singing along.
Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd
…
For its one, two, three strikes you’re out
At the old ball game!
