	Ernest Thayer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ernest Lawrence Thayer (August 14, 1863 - August 21, 1940) was an American writer and poet who wrote "Casey at the Bat".
		Thayer was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts and raised in Worcester.
		Thayer's recitation of it at a Harvard class reunion in 1895 may seem trivial except that it helps solve the mystery, which lingered into the 20th century, of who had written it.

	Casey at the Bat
		Ernest Lawrence Thayer was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts on August 14th, 1863.
		Thayer, the son of a wealthy mill owner, was expected to go into the family business, and attended Harvard where he majored in philosophy and minored in humor.
		Thayer himself would later declare that there was no “real” Casey, and that the name and vague image of Casey were drawn from a bully who once threatened to beat him up in high school.

	[minstrels] Casey At The Bat -- Ernest Lawrence Thayer
		For the full story behind the writing of the poem, see Biography and Appraisal: Born August 14, 1863 in Lawrence, Massachusetts, Ernest Thayer was the son of a prosperous mill owner.
		Thayer wrote his columns for the newspaper using the pseudonym "Phin" and it would be several years before the true authorship of "Casey" would be determined.
		In his brief review of Thayer's life, Martin Gardner writes: One might argue that Thayer, with his extraordinary beginning at Harvard, his friendship with James and Santayana, his lifelong immersion in philosophy and the great books, was himself something of a Casey.

		Thayer long contended the poem had no basis in fact.
