Casey at the Bat

About This Story

A very special piece of American folklore rounds the bases of the 19th century to delight our ears today.  With bases loaded and the crowd in a fever, the mighty Casey steps up to the plate and holds the fate of the big game in his powerful hands.  The final pitch is thrown!  Listen to this exciting tale written in 1887 by an inspired baseball reporter who wrote a “home run” of a classic poem.
