Welcome to This Is America in VOA Special English. I'm Barbara Klein. For sports fans, August means different things. For those who follow American football, August is traditionally when players begin training. For tennis lovers, the United States Open begins on August 28th in New York City. For basketball fans, well, they have a little time. The National Basketball Association just released its full list of games for the coming season. Opening night is October 31st. So what have we left out? Oh yes, the boys and girls of summer--Little League Baseball. Their World Series is on August 27th in Willamsport, Pennsylvania. As for the major leagues, their World Series is not until October 21st.
There are probably more than one thousand songs about baseball. The most popular is "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." It was written in 1908 by Jack Norworth. He wrote it after seeing a sign about baseball in an underground train in New York City. Jack Norworth reportedly had never seen a Major League Baseball game. He did not see one until thirty-three years old after he wrote the song. People still sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during baseball games. In the game, near the end everyone stands up and stretches their arms and legs. Most often, they sing the song together.
