What better way to spend a boring afternoon than to watch Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra hit home runs and woo the girls at the same time!! Gene Kelly is wonderful as Eddy O'Brien, a skirt-chasing short-stop for the wolves cum part-time vaudeville performer. His delightful "The Hat My Dear Old Father Wore On St. Patrick's Day" is a show-stopper, as is any number with Gene in it. Frank Sinatra's "The Right Girl For Me" is a lovely tune, sung by the greatest singer. How befitting that the greatest dancer and greatest singer should team up!
Betty Garret and Esther Williams are delights, although the latter's dancing and singing leaves much to be desired. Betty's exuberant "It's Fate Baby, It's Fate" is funny, and well performed by Betty, who lacks a singing voice but more than makes up for it with effort and comedic charm.
Other excellent numbers include "Strictly USA" and the title number. A "home run" treat, not just for the guys, but for us girls too! after all, gorgeous and sexy Gene Kelly is in it, right?!

Since I am only 26, I have only known the sport of baseball as a business, which it continues to be. "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" harks back to a time when people played baseball for the love of the game. The film may be sentimental, but it is a joy to see Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra sing and dance while playing baseball! Kelly makes the movie what it is, especially with the number "It's The Hat My Dear Old Father Wore". To me that is the showstopper of the movie. Sinatra on the other hand looks bored in some scenes, like this movie was below him. Esther Williams and Betty Garrett, two underrated actressed, also round out the cast.
The DVD version features two great deleted numbers. One was the charming song "Baby Doll", which Gene Kelly sings to Esther Williams. The other song is the Rodgers and Hammerstein number "Boys And Girls Like You And Me", which Sinatra sings to Betty Garrett. The movie loses one star, because of Sinatra's role and the only average musical score. The DVD version adds a lot to the film, and it actually makes me want to dust off my old glove and pitch a few...

I thought this movie was excellent! i'm a big fan of older movies and this one just takes the cake! I've seen it 5 times and i can keep seeing it over and over again. Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelley are a great team!

Wonderful cast and the music is to die for. You will instantly not want to take a break from this movie.

I just LOVE this movie! In spite of an idiotic story and outrageous overacting (mostly from Kelly) this movie a sheer delight! Kelly and Sinatra pretty much repeat their roles from "Anchors Aweigh": Kelly as the womanizing man about town, and Sinatra as the shy bumpkin. Esther Williams is delicious as the woman who takes over their baseball team, and Betty Garrett as the woman who has the hots for Sinatra (don't we all?) just steals every scene she's in. The highlights are Kelly singing and dancing to "The Hat my Father Wore," and Garrett wooing Sinatra with "It's Fate, Baby, It's Fate."
