    I have found the very first recording of that song, by the Haydn Quartet (1908) Here’s the link :

    Write Take Me Out To The Ball Game in the Search space. Press enter. Then you will see : Billy Murray & Haydon Quartet. Here it is, although Billy Murray didn’t sing on that record.

      Thanks, Mario
      I downloaded it for my baseball file and am listening now. It is in far better condition than the 1908 one I posted.

    And I got curious about Edward Meeker. He was a vaudeville comedian. Here he is in the Edison studios: http://www.npr.org/programs/lnfsound/gallery/edison/5.html
