Jake and I VS Jake and me

This is one of the most common yet simple errors I hear every day.

Proper Usage:

Lenny and I went to the park yesterday to play baseball.
Fred and I have blue eyes, while Carrie and Jordan have brown eyes.
Jane only gave tickets to me, Harold, and Savanna.
Carole chose Steve and me to go with her on the trip.

How to Remember:
Classic: When in doubt, kick the other one out. If you're not sure what to use, drop the other noun out of the sentence. Would it make sense if I said, "Me went to the park yesterday to play baseball"?
