We were just talking about The Hold Steady recording a Twins-centric take on the old seventh-inning standard, and now the band's been good enough to unleash it to the web. It's just under two minutes, so don't stretch too hard or you might miss it.
The Hold Steady - "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" (MP3)
Enjoy.
