To celebrate the beginningof the baseball season, I’d love for you to join me in a rousing rendition of this classic song about attending a game: “Take me out to the stickball tournament. Take me out to the large gathering of onlookers. Buy me some pecans and Apple Jacks. I really don’t mind if I live here now. Then hoot, hoot, hoot, for the locals. If they are bested by tourists, it’s a drag. Because, as I understand it, you have one, two . . . no, it’s definitely three chances to hit and run before you’re no longer taking part in the old stickball tournament.” Also, while I have you here, check out these baseball cartoons, which celebrate the great American pastime that everyone agrees takes just the right number of hours to play. Also, go Yankees! Hoot, hoot, hoot! —Emma Allen, cartoon editor |
