To follow up a bit on previous post ... the lyrics to "Tessie" stem from the first World Series, 1903, Boston vs. Pittsburgh ... when Boston's "Royal Rooters" got in the heads of Pittsburgh players by singing "Tessie" incessantly ... Here's a You-Tube link to a modern version of the song ... the end of the video has images of what I described at the end of my previous BLOG!
(Boston won that first World Series, BTW!)
