Who wrote the poem Casey at the Bat?

Answer 1

Casey at the bat is about a Baseball team that is two points behind and in the ninth inning (the last). There are two "garbage" batters before the all mighty casey. The first hits a single and the team scores once. The second batter goes up and strikes out. Now its all up to casey, there are two outs and the bases are loaded, casey is up. He gets to the plate, and the pitcher throws the bll and casey doesn't hit it claiming "its not my style." he throws again and casey lets it slide. Now the audience is nervous, there team is one point from tieing up the game. The pitcher throws another casey swings with all of his might and strike three "your out", casey missed and the team loses. And somewhere else in the world there is a happy town that's cheering, but not for this one.

Answer 3

i hate that poem and i think i know what your talking about. here.. team is down. 9th inning. bases loaded team is almost to victory if they can score a homerun. 2 kids come to bat. both out. casey comes up. everyone is glad + expect him to win the game casey acts cocky lik the little kid he is misses the first two balls on purpose third ball is thrown casey strikes out i thought that kid deserved it "The umpire makes a decision that Casey doesn't like, and an argument follows, during which Casey deftly trips him up, and continues the argument on the ground. The other players run from the bench and join in the rumpus. The fielders come running in and the pile on the home plate looks like a foot ball scrimmage. A solemn warning to all rotten umpires." Written by Edison Catalog

Answer 4

"Casey at the Bat" is a Mock Epic. Epic in that it is the story of a fallen hero; Mock in that it is not in the elegant, elevated language as in a traditional epic. Epics fall under the category of a Narrative poem, in that it tells a story with a beginning, middle, and end. There's a setting, a main character, a conflict, a climax, and an outcome (resolution).
