For the first time ever, Major League Baseball is playing real, live exhibition games, right here in Beijing on the 15th and 16th of March. It's the LA Dodgers and San Diego Padres in a battle for China baseball supremacy. We're excited. No, check that, we're ECSTATIC. And to share the love, we've got a pair of tickets to the game for anyone who leaves the most creative response to this question in the comments section below:
"The song 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' describes the experience of going to your typical baseball game in the U.S.. How would you change the lyrics to reflect the, erm, 'unique characteristics' of attending sporting events in Beijing?"
Sorry, but this contest is closed! Congratulations to the winner listed below!
Congratulations to jmk! Emma Ticketmaster was impressed by the effort and info that was put into making new ‘China-specific’ lyrics for “Take me out to the ballgame”. Jmk has gotten a pair of free tickets to see the Padres vs. the Dodgers.
City Weekend is always excited to offer exclusive prizes and deals. And we've got many more on the way. For those of you still hungry for free stuff, we're giving away tickets to Celine Dion and Maroon 5 in the near future. We hold these competitions to reward our biggest fans, you. Yeah, that's cheesy, but hey it's true. Hope you'll help CW fight the good fight. Spread the word! "It's your site, use it often".
And now, for your viewing enjoyment, the most ridiculous moment in professional baseball history. Let's see the the MLB China Series top that!

"Take me to the Beijing ball game, Take me out in a broke down blue gong shang Jing cha truck. Bargain me some bai jui and bao zi, or that stinky toufu, yaoza yaoza yaoza Let me wear some red and place some money in the jao zi for the home team, and if they don't win they should cheat. For it's one, two, three cigarettes, you're out, At a Beijing ball game."

Take me out to see bàng qiú I want to play ball like a pro So buy me some HGH, clear and the cream A Bonds-sized head, now that is my dream So it's juice, juice, juice for the home team If my balls don't grow back it's a shame For it's one, two, three strikes gào zhōng For the old bàng qiú.

Take me out to Wukesong
Take me out far west
Buy me some bai jui and sunflower seeds
Don't say its enjoyed by the Japanese
Baseball comes to China and I want to be there
If Andrew Jones doesn't play its a shame
For its one, two, three Taiwanese playing an away home game

Hmm, based on my experience, the song would go a little something like this:
Push me out to the ballgame, Push me out through the crowd.
Pass up the teahouse and acrobats, I don't dare touch those dry, pickled snacks.
Let me "jia, jia you" to the home team, If they lose face it's a shame, For it's one, two, triple "foreign friend price",
at the Beijing-new-world-international-happyland-luxurious-colorful-millenium ball game.

clearing my throat
I'm a girl who loves baseball Can't believe there'll be a game! Buy me some candied-apples and red bean snacks I hope those sandstorms never make it back And it's "hack, hack, hack", from pollution If Jones drops dead we'll know who to blame But it's who, who, Hu, is on first, at the Jing ball game!
Gan bei!

1) On the sport of cycling...
Get me into the bike lane Dammmit I blew out my horn "Flying Pigeons" obstructing my path Laowai helmuts make me laugh And it's toot, toot, toot at the shifu If he don't see me I'm dead Cause I'm in this Chinese Rat race On Beijing's spit-filled streets.
"Team chuar!"
2) Come August....
Take me out to the ping pong Get me drunk on bei jo Munch on chuar and sunflower seeds I don't care if hork hits my back And it's root, root, root for Team Zhongguo If they don't win, they'll be caned Cause it's yi, ar, san jia yo! At the Olympic summer games.

Take me out to see Yao Ming Take me out in a mob Buy me some baijiu and cigarettes I don't care if I get charged extra 'Cuz it's all about the olympics If they don't thrill us what will For it's yi, er, san hours' fun At the old ball game!

Beijing never had ball games
but they've certainly got crowds
Give 'em some jian bing and sunflower seeds
They've never known that it's baseball they need-
to sit, sit, sit and do nothing
'Cause now there's no more excuse-
With new year's long over and no reason why to sit on their-
ca-boose!
