Casey At The Bat Comments

we memorized this poem in 6th grade each student had a paragraph to learn and we stood up in front of the class and said our paragraph. Fond memories from this poem. Thank you to the author!

I was in the fifth grade when I stood before the class and recited this poem. As you might guess, I was a BASEBALL NERD....Crazy About BASEBALL! ! ! Needless to say, I aced this poem, and baseball authority. I also let the class know that I was a NEW YORK Yankee FAN. During those days, there were only eight teams in each league. American and National. Washington was always first in peace and last in the American League.

Huge Jake Pauler Your a fake kost likely though

Wasn't the opposing team: Centerville, and wasn't the opposing pitcher Snedeker? Somehow that runs in my mind?

Just like the Bible says pride is before a crash, And a haughty spirit before stumbling. Poor, poor haughty, prideful Casey.......

Loved It :) so much it made my family cry I loved it so much that we wrote another stanza

Loved and enjoyed the poem very much

Can anyone recommend a good children’s poem with good illustrations Thank you

My mother would read us poetry for a set of Junior Classics that inhabited the numerous bookshelves in our home. This was one of my favorites.

The pitcher holds the ball! ! Thanks for sharing.

This has been one of my favorite poems since I first heard it in junior high school many decades ago. I, too, was surprised by the ending the first time I heard it. I still love it.

I love it. Worth the read :)

Literally held my attention longer than any baseball game-and actually took me by surprise too. Couldn't feel better after a poem.

Brilliant study of arrogance and pride in an almost comedic style. Thorughly enjoyed this one.

I can't wait for opening day
