"Casey at the Bat"
Narrated by Jerry Colonna
The story is based upon the famous poem written by Ernest Lawrence Thayer, depicting a memorable baseball game between the “Mudville Nine” and an unknown opponent, with mighty “Casey,” local hero, the feature of the game.
The opening scene picks up the game in the eighth inning, with the score four to two and the opposing team in the lead. As the picture opens, the manager of the home team is giving the players a pep talk and calling Cooney to bat. Cooney bunts the ball, but is called “out” at first base.

The crowd is in an uproar, but is reassured by Casey’s scornful look. The moment is tense, the crowd is hushed, the pitcher throws the ball, and the air is rent with the force of Casey’s blow.
The next scene depicts the Mudville Ball Park, later that evening; it is raining and the bleachers are empty. Casey, in a mad fury, is still trying to hit the ball. The game is lost for Miulville, and Mighty Casey has “struck out!”
