Casey At The Bat (1912)

""Casey at the Bat"" is a poem written by Phineas Thayer in 1888 that tells the story of a baseball team's star player, Casey, who steps up to the plate with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, and the game on the line. The poem is a classic American literary work that captures the excitement and drama of baseball, as well as the disappointment and heartache that can come with it. In 1912, the poem was published as a book with illustrations by Dan Sayre Groesbeck, which added to the visual appeal of the story. The book has since become a beloved classic in American literature, and is often read aloud at baseball games and other events. It is a timeless tale of the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, and is a must-read for any baseball fan or lover of classic literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
