Who what when where and why about Casey At The Bat?

Answer 1

Casey at bat is an actual event that happened. He was a Baseball player on the team Mudville 9. Back in 1888. Two towns claim to be the the town it takes place in. Holliston, Massachusetts and Stockton, California. it is a historical piece of information because it was a huge climax of a baseball game and had very much emotion for everyone there and fans. I personally think that Stockton, California is the town in the poem 'Casey At Bat' because at that time Stockton was called Mudville not officially but that's what most people referred to it as. because it used to be a port town back then. The dirt around the water would get wet and it got very muddy every were.

Answer 2

The character of Casey is said (by some) to be modeled after a real life baseball player named John Cahill that Thayer saw in action in the city of Stockton, California. At the time the poem was written, Thayer was writing for the San Francisco Chronicle (about an hours drive from Stockton). The city of Stockton was, at one time, given the nickname of Muddville and that is where the fictitious city name came from. Until quite recently the Stockton AA team, the Ports (Oakland A's affiliate), had "Casey" as their mascot. In the 2000-01 season, they donned their Muddville jerseys to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the poem.
