-
In 1991, the Library of Congress mounted the exhibition Take Me Out to the Ballgame: A Celebration of Baseball in Song, featuring a selection of vintage baseball sheet music from the Music Division's collections. The exhibit proved so popular that Music Division staff compiled a bibliography of published baseball music. While not exhaustive, the bibliography lists more than 400 songs and instrumental works about America's national pass-time from across the Music Division's collections. This web presentation features selected works that are in the public domain. The baseball music bibliography is also available online, with links to the digitized sheet music. - Contents Note
