The song was written in 1908 by Jack Norworth (lyrics) and Albert Von Tilzer (music). However, Norworth did not attend a professional ballgame until 1940, Von Tilzer until 1928.
Knew the general "they never actually went" theme but thanks to Wikipedia for the details:

the fact that if you want peanuts and cracker jacks at a ballgame now that you had better be prepared to spend some serious money for them.
also the fact that rooting for the home team has become nationwide instead of regional.

That the writer of the song had never been to a baseball ballgame when he wrote it.

What's ironic is that the only time you sing the song is when you're already at the ballpark.
