While organ music had appeared at hockey rinks in the 1930s, it first bellowed through a Baseball stadium on April 26, 1941. Organist Ray Nelson played “classic and soulful compositions” before the Cubs took on the Cardinals at Wrigley Field. He had to stop before the game started, however, because he was playing copyrighted songs that could’ve been picked up by radio broadcasts.

The baseball-stadium organ caught on quickly, however; the following season, the Brooklyn Dodgers hired a permanent organist, and their popularity increased through the mid-20th century. Nowadays, they’re commonplace.

Oddly enough, the Cubs removed Nelson’s organ from the grandstand during a road trip shortly after it first appeared—the copyright liability was just too much for them—and organ music wouldn’t return to Wrigley until 1967.

NHL had organ music in the 1920’s. Chicago Stadium was built in 1929 and organ was used from day one.

We gotta give the Canucks the hat tip on this one, organists were fairly common at #Hockey games for at least a decade before baseball. Hey, any sport with a history of fighting as a part of the game that continues to today deserves much respect!

The use of music at sport events is a practice that is a thousands of years old.

Chicago’s Wrigley Field was the first sports arena to feature organ music. In April 1941 the first baseball stadium organ appeared at this stadium.

Before this, the only music played at baseball stadiums were by military bands which that too were not so regular.

In April, St Louis Cardinals were to play the Cubs. For this game Roy Nelson, an organist played his classic and soulful pieces which the crowd extremely enjoyed.

The next year the first organ was permanently installed at Brooklyn Dodger’s home ground- Ebbets Field.

Glady Gooding who played the keyboard for films played now played the baseball organ. She played at Ebbets.

The organ then became a tradition at baseball stadiums. Another reason would be because of the loud sound it can produce even without an amplifier.

Other than the crowd enjoying the baseball organ music, many important figures have also appreciated the ballpark organ.

Red Sox Executive vice president Charles Steinberg mentioned saying, “Baseball is personal, and music enhances that personal connection. That’s why the organ plays a key role.”

The manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Frankie Frisch once paused whole hitting pre-game infield practice during a visit to Ebbets Field to listen to Glady's Gooding play the ballpark organ, “Gee, I like that organ.”

But of course, not everyone was a fan of organ music.

A habilidade de gravar sons é absolutamente necessária para a produção de música eletrônica, e é certamene bastante útil. O primeiro precursor do fonógrafo foi inventado em 1857 quando Leon Scott gravou pela primeira vez impressões de som em cilindros revestidos em carbono. Duas décadas depois, em 1878 Thomas A. Edison patenteou o fonógrafo, que utilizava cilindros similarmente ao dispositivo de Scott. Apesar do mecanismo ter se mantido inalterado por um tempo, Emile Berliner desenvolveu o fonógrafo em disco em 1897

On April 26, 1941, the Cubs turned into the primary Major League group to have organ music at a ballgame. This article was distributed in an April 28, 1941 release of the Chicago Tribune.

On April 26, 1941, Chicago's Wrigley Field became the first baseball stadium to feature an organ (and they still feature a live organ, not a digital recording)! Probably the most well known baseball song performed on the organ is Take Me Out to the Ball Game!
