Casey at the Bat by Ernest Thayer is a classic American poem about Mudville's baseball team, trailing in the final inning. With two outs, the crowd's last hope rests on the mighty Casey. Confidence fills the air as he steps up to bat. He lets the first two pitches pass, striking twice. On the final pitch, he swings-but misses! The crowd is left in stunned silence. This timeless narrative captures the drama of sports, the highs of hope, and the crushing weight of failure, making it a must-read for baseball fans and lovers of classic storytelling alike.
Included on the inside cover is a link to a word-for-for audio read-along.
