Used in film Baseball ('94). Tin Pan Alley waltz written by two non baseball fans. Albert Von Tilzer was Harry's brother. In 1927 Jack Norworth wrote a new set of lyrics but the chorus was kept to become the unofficial Baseball anthem, sung spontaniously throughout the field during the seventh inning of every game.
