When did we finally start singing "Take me Out to the Ballgame" in the seventh inning again?

For way too long we were singing "God Bless America"

That sucked.

I've been to games where they sing both. Here's hoping it's just "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" and that our long national nightmare is over.

The Nationals sing "Take me out to the ball game" during the 7th inning stretch but also sing "God Bless America" on Sundays and holidays. God Bless America is a good time to go grab another beer and pretzel dog.
