Ernest Thayer's "Casey at the Bat" was first published in the San Francisco Daily Examiner in 1888. Thayer's background is examined here as the basis for determining the origins of the colorful characters behind his "Ballad of the Republic"-men who may have been "Casey," "Flynn," "Cooney" and other members of the Mudville Nine.

This review is from: Ernest Thayer's "Casey at the Bat": Background and Characters of Baseball's Most Famous Poem (Library Binding)
The main reason on why I have reveiwed this book and have given it a 4-stars is because it's a great poem, but there are a few words missing that could and should be in it.
