"Casey at the Bat" is a poem written
in 1888 by Ernest Thayer. A dramatic
narrative about a baseball game, the
poem became popular on the vaudeville
circuit, and has become one of the
best-known poems in American
literature. The Disney version of the
poem "Casey At The Bat" adapted from
the ballad of the same title as
dramatized in the Walt Disney motion
picture "Make Mine Music," was released
in 1946.
A sequel to the Make Mine Music segment of Casey at the Bat, "Casey Bats
Again" premiered on June 18, 1954. The
animated short depicts what happens to
the ballplayer after he strikes out in
the notorious championship game.
Depressed for months afterwards,
Casey’s mood brightens upon learning he
will soon be a father. He is
disappointed once again when a daughter
is born. In the following years,
Casey becomes the father of nine
daughters sad resigns himself to the
fact that a son will never redeem him
in baseball annals. Realizing that his
girls have inherited his baseball skills,
Casey organizes them into
an all girl baseball team and
joins them with a ribbon in his hair.
