    “Williams' solo take on 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' – with spoken intro from longtime Yankee Stadium public-address voice Bob Sheppard – turns the classic seventh-inning-stretch ditty into an introspective elegy that sounds like a musical interpretation of a wistful ex-player looking back at his career.” – Dave Shenin, The Washington Post
