The materials within this series date from 1885 through 1985 and are arranged alphabetically by song title. It includes songs, polkas, waltzes, two-steps, and compositions found in larger songbooks, many specifically written about baseball or incorporating baseball themes into the cover art. Of particualr note is the all-time baseball standard, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," with eleven different versions of the cover. Also of note are illustrated covers crudely depicting Black Americans in the early 20th century: "Brother Noah Gave Out Checks For Rain" and "Pickin' On Your Baby ('Cause I'm A Pickaninny Rose)." Most of the sheet music collected for cover art only is housed in this series.
