Anyone interested in American history should watch Ken Burns Baseball. It's an excellent documentary series about baseball that's packed full of fun facts like this. One of my favorite facts I learned was that people sang the Star Spangled Banner at baseball games before it was established as our national anthem. The documentary goes through the history of baseball and how everything that has happened to the sport beautifully depicts everything that has happened in the country's history through the lens of baseball. For all the good and bad, it's a great documentary series. 10/10 highly recommend!

Can you believe I JUST bought this on dvd a month ago? 10 dvds. 9 are the documentary, and 1 is extras. Seems to be made around 1997ish.

That explains the second verse and the lyric "We'll throw the ball and we'll throw the bat / The baseball goalie has to be really fat"

Not as well known, for obvious reasons.
