Albert Von Tilzer's (29 March 1878 –1 October 1956) rousing song "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" is traditionally sung during the seventh inning of every professional baseball game in America, so it is a lovely coincidence that his birthday falls during the first week of major league baseball season.
Hope Springs Eternal
When baseball begins in the spring,
The fans in their stadiums sing
Von Tilzer's old song
While their hopes are still strong
That their team could still win the whole thing.
