As I recall, from an ESL lesson I taught once, this is like the most famous song (sung most often a year) coming after birthdays or something like that! (maybe National anthem is above it as well) I love the game, love your poem.

All we have to hear is the first two or three notes, and the entire stadium is up on their feet!

It refers to Baseball. It was written way long ago, before we were born and had a different name! The Chicago Cubs and Harry Carey are the ones who put the song on the map in the 1970s at Cubs Park!-)) Panagiota See mentalfloss.com

I love this song; knowing most of the words not having to fill in with "lalalalala"s.
