Baseball Traditions

The Seventh Inning Stretch

* Fans stand up just before the home half of the 7th   
* Some just stand there
* Some sing Take Me Out to the Ballgame
* They don't sit down until the batter steps in
* Why the 7th inning stretch? Why not the 5th?
* Who started this tradition, and why????
