Jack Norwortth in 1908. If you can find a copy of the PBS miniseries baseball, watch the segment on the decade 1900-1909, it has a nice segment on the song and they sing more than just the Take me out to the Ballgame you always hear. Also Carly Simon sings the entire song at the end of one of the segments, I think its the 1970s segment

Take Me Out to the Ball Game
In 1858, the first known baseball song was written, "The Base Ball Polka!" It was not quite as famous as Jack Norworth's 1908 classic, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game", which was written on some scrap paper on a train ride to Manhattan, New York. Norworth then provided those paper scrap lyrics to Albert Von Tilzer who composed the music which in turn was published by the York Music Company and before the year was over, a hit song was born.

It was written in 1908, by a an entertainer named Jack Norworth. Have you ever seen the whole song? It is REALLY long! Thankfully they only sing one verse!
