PREFACE
The following bibliography contains a listing of over 400 musical
works and songs related to baseball.
First published in the mid-nineteenth century, many of the items
listed below represent the earliest widely-distributed baseball
collectibles; the value of these objects lies both in their music
and lyrics as well as in their elaborately illustrated covers,
which furnish a factual and cultural history of our national game,
its fans and their heroes.
The paths of baseball and musical composition have crossed several
times in their respective evolutions. For example, from 1895
to 1920, a time marked by the American heyday of the parlor piano
and the prominence of the popular music publishing industry called "Tin
Pan Alley," it was common for family and friends to gather
around the piano for an evening's entertainment. This national
pastime began to decline in the 1920's with the rise of the broadcasting
and recording industries. Coincident with this unique musical
era, baseball, THE national pastime, experienced what some writers
call its "Silver Age:" a time when dual major league
status was re-established, when the World Series was instituted,
and when Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth became the heroes that composers
rhapsodized about! Indeed, it was the songwriters who first
designated baseball as "America's National Game."
The idea of compiling this bibliography was conceived shortly
after the opening of an April 1991 exhibit displayed at the Library
of Congress and titled "Take Me Out to the Ballgame: A Celebration
of Baseball in Song." Although it was possible to display
only sixty items at this event, the exhibit attracted many more
enthusiastic viewers than anticipated; evidence of the interest
it generated among performing musicians, music publishers and researchers
continues to reach us in the form of written and telephone reference
requests for more information on this topic.
In an effort to consolidate and preserve these materials, the
Music Division plans to prepare an archival microfilm of these
items; this bibliography will serve as a finding aid to that film.
