The Hold Steady record "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" for Minnesota Twins

The Hold Steady have recorded a version of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," which will be played at Minnesota Twins home games. According to an interview with MTV news, the band was contacted by Twins musical director Kevin Dutcher, a fan of the band's latest release Boys and Girls in America. Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn noted:

He thought it would be cool for us to record 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game.' He was like, 'I'm gonna be playing your record, so it'd be cool if you guys could do this.' It was all unofficial, but we decided we should do it. I mean, the Hold Steady, we're all sort of sports guys. We're more likely to be drinking beer and eating wings and watching baseball rather than collecting some obscure 7-inch.
