Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Casey at the Bat and sequels
Subject: RE: Casey at the Bat - Reprise? (recitation)
If my memory is correct, "Casey at the Bat" is discussed in Tristram P. Coffin's baseball folkore book (probably Tristram Potter Coffin, The Old Ball Game: Baseball in Folkore and Fiction. New York: Herder and Herder, 1971). I'll check it later, since the book is somewhere else, not in front of me.
Thayer's "Casey at the Bat" recited (not sung) by DeWolf Hopper (rec. 1909) is on Various Artists: Baseball's Greatest Hits (Rhino R2 70710, track 22).
