Description
Casey at the Bat is the single most famous baseball poem ever written. Authored by Ernest L. Thayer, the poem first appeared in the June 3, 1888 issue of The San Francisco Examiner, but was hardly noticed until a New Yorker named Archibald Gunter shared the poem with his friend De Wolf Hopper. Hopper gave a performance of the poem in August of 1888 to an audience packed with members of the New York and Chicago baseball clubs, and the poem has lived on ever since.

Great App for a Classic Poem
This poem is so under-rated. I only hear references to Casey, but rarely see the poem in it's entirety. This app is a great presentation of the poem. My older child gets it and likes the narration and pictures. I'm a huge fan myself - excited for baseball now that I have it.
Sweet! Good old school story on a new school device
great combo - art is killer - story is good and kids like it. narrator means it works even when you can't read it.
0.99 done deal - grab for the next trip.
Gorgeous pictures
and well written poem.
