The reason that they started signing it during the 7th inning stretch was to help quell alcohol-fueled rowdiness during the later part of games.  There's no real reason to broadcast it.

Shows how little I follow baseball, I thought they sang "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the 7th inning stretch.

Nah every team does it AFAIK.  Certainly all my local teams do.

Sorry it was the most compelling part of the game.

I distinctly remember hearing "root, root, root for the Cardinals" at some point.

But yeah, it's most closely associated with Harry Caray I think.

I hope you are proud of yourselves Giants.  Somewhere George Brett is crying like a little girl!
