	PA DCNR - resource - July 2001
		Casey never fired a shot, but he was there in the photo, smiling with the rest of the hunters.
		I, too, was there, both days, watching as Casey, his sons and the same group of young fellow hunters climbed over and snaked through laurel and white pine cloaking the back side of Paddy Mountain.
		And it was that man’s shotgun that discharged, fatally wounding Casey in the leg.

	Think Progress » Bolton: The Mighty Casey Has Struck Out
		CASEY: Again, as I did say yesterday, we believe we’ve been very responsive already to the committee in terms of providing them the information that they need to be able to make the right decisions on Mr.
		CASEY: … and we believe the committee is going to make the proper decision and the proper decision is to confirm him and to send him there, so that he can work on the important project of UN reform, which we all know is something that’s really badly needed right now.
		Casey’s first point: State is providing information to make not just any decision but the “right decision” on Bolton’s nomination.

	Where the Mighty Casey Struck Out
		The documentation is sketchy, but I can remember reading somewhere that Ernest Lawrence Thayer was watching a semi-pro baseball game in Stockton, CA in 1888 when the lines of "Casey at the Bat" began to form in his mind.
		But Casey, in Ted Williams fashion, was "waiting for his pitch." If only he had had Williams' eyes, his trigger reflexes, his fluid swing.
		We are sure that despite all the Mudville misfortune that had preceded the mighty one's fateful at bat, he would come through as he always had.

	[minstrels] Casey At The Bat -- Ernest Lawrence Thayer
		But Flynn preceded Casey, and likewise so did Blake, And the former was a pudd'n and the latter was a fake.
		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.

		After rounding the bases to wild applause, Casey doffed his cap to the fans to reveal gray hair, and ’fessed up to being the mighty Casey.
		Thayer was a master at suspense, but obviously the Mighty Casey was about to become the biggest hero Mudville ever had or would have.
		Mighty Casey — and after Flynn let drive a single and Blake tore the cover off the ball.

		Throw the mighty slider and let him hear it whiz And let him hit a pop-up like the pansy that he is." There was pride in Casey's visage as he strode onto the grass, There was scorn in his demeanor as he calmly scratched his ass.
		It was our hero's fastball, it came across the plate, And according to the radar, it was going ninety-eight, And according to the umpire, it came in straight and true, And the cry rang from the toilets to the bullpen: Stee-rike Two.
		Old Casey took his sweet time, but we were glad to wait And we showered him with garbage as the team came out the gate.

		But Flynn preceded Casey, as did also Jimmy Blake, And the former was a hoodoo, while the latter was a cake; So upon that stricken multitude grim melancholy sat; For there seemed but little chance of Casey getting to the bat.

	Casey At The Bat
		Its initial popularity was due as much to Shakespearian actor De Wolf Hopper, who included the thirteen-stanza poem in his repertoire, as it was to poet Thayer, a former editor of the Harvard Lampoon.
		Everyone knows that there was no joy in Mudville when the mighty Casey struck out, but few are aware that Thayer patterned his fabled slugger on a real player, Daniel Maurice Casey, who was still posing for newspaper photographers fifty years after the poem's initial publication.
		Casey died in 1943, when he was seventy-eight, in Washington, D.C. As for Thayer, he was paid only five dollars for his poem, which De Wolf Hopper recited over 5,000 times.

		This is closely related to “The Mighty Casey” in terms of the comic perfection of style, and of the manner in which it was written, even though the writers and directors are different.
