How many baseball parks still have a real organ and organ player?

My great uncle remembers going to ball games in the 50s with an actual organ player playing at games.

Just curios

The guy who plays it at Dodger stadium was asked the key to his success, he said "I always have tulips on my organ"

That makes sense because she is dead.

Organist are awesome!

This reminds me of a story of a minor league Philly team who’s organist was tossed after he played 3 blind mice after a bad call.

Wilber Snapp Wiki

quote:

On June 26, 1985 he was ejected from a game at the Jack Russell Stadium for playing "Three Blind Mice" in response to what he thought was a bad call from the umpire, Kevin O'Connor.[3] The umpire pointed up to Snapp, who was sitting at his organ behind first base, then thumbed him out of the game.[1]

Cardinals do.
Ernie Hayes was our organist for 40 seasons until he passed a few years ago.

That’s where my old uncle went to games. He said Augie Busch would run a special for service members for free tickets if you were in uniform and beers were .10 or .25. A bus would take them from the USAF base across the river to the stadium and back.

The Braves still have one and the organist is pretty creative with the songs he/she plays for each opposing player.
