    That explains the second verse and the lyric “We’ll throw the ball and we’ll throw the bat / The baseball goalie has to be really fat”

    Not as well known, for obvious reasons.

      I realize you’re joking, but the lyrics most people know (“take me out to the ball game, take me out with the crowd,” etc. ) IS the second verse. The verse following that well-known section is:

      Katie Casey saw all the games, Knew the players by their first names; Told the umpire he was wrong, All along good and strong. When the score was just two to two, Katie Casey knew what to do, Just to cheer up the boys she knew, She made the gang sing this song:

      Which is then followed by another verse of the well-known part of the song.
