Whether you’re at Yankee Stadium watching the pinstripes in the World Series or at a Single-A Charleston River Dogs at Joseph Riley Park, there’s a certain amount of tradition that is part of the American pastime.

Recently local fans have joined in singing the traditional song “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” during the seventh inning stretch of the Saipan Major League games at the Oleai Sports Complex, but league coordinator Tony Rogolifoi said that no everyone knows the words.

In an effort to give the chorus its song sheets, the [I]Saipan Tribune[/I] has found the lyrics to the famous song so that the players, coaches, and fans can sing along in harmony.

Weather permitting, spectators can warm up their vocal cords tomorrow night when the defending champion Pirates battle the Manhoben Young Guns at Francisco M. Palacios Field at 6:30pm.

[I]Take me out to the ball game

Take me out to the crowd

Buy me some peanuts and crackerjack

I don’t care if I NEVER get back

For it’s 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 ballgame!
