I perform a revised and updated version of the "Cool Casey" parody that originally appeared in MAD magazine (October 1960) on "Bottom of the Fifth," the fifth CD in Hungry for Music's ongoing "Diamond Cuts" series of baseball-related songs and poetry. Details at the publisher's website: www.hungryformusic@att.net. I've also written a Jewish version, "Kessler at the Bat." Sample quatrain: And now the mystic, Kabbalistic pitch comes floating in, And Kessler's brow is furrowed, and he slowly strokes his chin; He comprehends that long before Creation had begun, This pitch existed somewhere . . . but then he hears, "STRIKE VUN!" Anyone interested can contact me at horowitz@bard.edu.
