	Casey at the Bat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Casey at the Bat" (subtitled "A Ballad of the Republic") is a poem on the subject of baseball, written in 1888 by Ernest Thayer.

	[minstrels] Casey At The Bat -- Ernest Lawrence Thayer
		There was ease in Casey's manner as he stepped into his place, There was pride in Casey's bearing and a smile on Casey's face; And when responding to the cheers he lightly doffed his hat.
		The sneer is gone from Casey's lips, his teeth are clenched in hate, He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate; And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go, And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey's blow.
		A number of poets are known for just one poem, but seldom is that one poem as famous as 'Casey at the Bat'; seldom has it conferred upon its author the deep-seated immortality that 'Casey' brought Thayer.

		Note: Most of the main players in the story of “Casey at the Bat” told differing versions of various parts of the story over the years, so piecing together the actual facts in some cases is a matter of picking which story seems most probable.
		Hopper recalled- "In a sweet, dulcet Harvard whisper he implored Casey to murder the umpire, and gave the cry of mass animal rage all the emphasis of a caterpillar wearing rubbers crawling on a velvet carpet".
		"Casey at the Bat" may not be great poetry, but it is a great poem, and for over a hundred years it has held our imaginations and hearts.

		And now the leather-covered sphere came hurtling through the air, And Casey stood a-watching it in haughty grandeur there; Close by the sturdy batsman the ball unheeded sped- "That ain't my style," said Casey--"Strike one," the Umpire said.
		He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate; And now the pitcher holds the ball and now he lets it go, And the air is shattered by the force of Casey's blow.
