Why do we sing 'Take me out to the ball game', when we are already there?

Only in America man. Only in America.\nWhat we should really be asking is:\nWhy does a pizza get to our house faster than an ambulance?\nWhy are there handicapped parking places at a skating rink?\nWhy do drugstores let healthy people buy cigarettes at the front while sick people have to walk to the back to get their medicine?\nWhy do banks leave the doors to the vault open but chain the pens to the counter?\nWhy do we leave thousand-dollar cars outside and our cheap junk in the garage?\nWhy do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight?

Its one of those tunes that seems to be used by many teams as a melody to base one of their chants around. I've heard it alot during games; France in particular seem to love it. :)

WRONG!  It's basically the same as the regular "Take me out to the ballgame" except it says root, root root for the CUBBIES instead of the home team:\n\nTake me out to the ballgame\nTake me out to the crowd\nBuy me some peanuts and cracker jacks\nI don't care If i ever get back\nFor it's root, root root for the CUBBIES\nIf they dont win it's a shame\nFor it's 1,2,3 strikes your out at the old, ball, game!\n\nLETS GET SOME RUNS!!

They are usually the final anthemn before the closing finale of the show. In most shows, you can go to the final song, then move to one before (not including reprises).

this is called "throwing the ball around the horn".\nit's meant to be rejuvinating for the players in the field.\nit only happens when there are no runners on base.\nwhen the pitcher is doing well and striking out lots of batters, the fielders have a tendency to get bored, even tired faster.  so the catcher will throw the ball down to the third baseman (sometimes they throw the ball "around the horn" starting at first base) when there is a strikeout, and the third baseman throws it to the second baseman or the shortstop, depending on how that particular infield likes to do it.  if you pay close attention, you will notice that the first baseman is usually omitted from this ritual.\nwhen the infielders throw the ball "around the horn" after a strikeout, it only goes to one corner infielder and the two middle infielders.

That way we can say that it's more complicated and that we are origional, when in all actuality, it's nearly the same game, if not easier. In cases such as Football, it's just so that we don't have to keep moving in between plays. It's the lazy way out.

I sing & drive to release Road Rage.\n\nYes, people see me all the time, I drive a convertible.  Yes, I am dramatic ... Yes, I have danced along while singing? Dunno if people point and laugh 'cas I'm way to into having fun and ignoring the people around me.\n\nI almost got a ticket for bellowing the "Star Spangle Banner" ... my town has a "Noise Ordinance"; but since it was the "Star Spangle Banner", I was allowed to go with a warning.

They always do that for every game that countries play. I don't really know, but it seems like a nice gesture. And I think that it means that they are the idols of the player that they stand next to ? I don't really know, like I told you before.\n\n\n\n-MeXiCo RoX mY sOx!!!

It's all about the refrain and the 'Baa baa baa', as it were...It is just like in St. Louis how they use to always play the Budweiser song....or in Baltimore playing John Denver's 'Thank God I'm a Country Boy'...no more, no less....It is for fun, as much as the inane music the players come up to bat or to the mound...

Your probably hearing the FIFA anthem.  They play it at friendlies and at tournies.  As do they play the UEFA anthem at Champions League matches.

i believe the chant is spanish, not english, and i don't know much about old spanish songs so can't tell you where the tune originally came from.  it is an expression used to express excited approval.  i heard that it has origins in the word "allah," suggesting that something awesome has happened, by the hand of God or thank God or something.  soccer is a type of religion in mexico and south america.... \n\ni can't tell you why spanish-speaking people with heavy christian/catholic influence would adopt an arabic/islamic word, but maybe they just liked the sound of it!\n\nBUT... there is a song..... it was written from the chant, not shortened to the chant.  it might be what you're looking for though:\nBouncing Souls "Ole"\n\nOLE Bouncing souls no one can beat us we drink beer and wear adidas anywhere we get the itch we're off to find a proper pitch Lace your sambas get on out off we go to kick it about Win or lose we're having fun we won't quit until we're done We got heart when we play Take you on anyday\n\n\nalso check http://www.last.fm/music/Soccer+Chants

Bring Em Out - by T.I. I thought Miami did a great job with it too, because it even made me ready to play.
