When Casey Slugged the Ball Compiled Verse
A companion piece to Casey at the Bat parodies Mudville fame with illustrations by Nat Wright. It retells Casey’s legendary strike with the crowd, the umpire, and the pitch, then shifts to Caseyville and a later beer saloon mayoral tale. The poem mirrors the original’s rhythm and humor while expanding the Mudville myth.
