Songfacts®:

• This song tells a story about a group of men trying to woo the same girl, comparing the experience to a baseball game. The pitch symbolizes a date with the girl, the men try to make a swing, they miss the pitch, then the next one in line steps up to the home plate.
• The early twentieth century song "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" by Tin Pan Alley is referenced as the song begins, as trace utters the title before the music starts.
• The chorus is a repetition of what most people consider to be gibberish, but is well known to anyone who played Little League Baseball. It consists of a quick paced "Swing batter batter" sixteen times every time the chorus comes up. >>>
