Ernest Thayer's ""Casey at the Bat"" was first published in the San
Francisco Daily Examiner on June 3, 1888. Its popularity owed much
to the universality of its subject; every city seemed to have a
""Casey"" on its team. Thayer, a Harvard graduate, said little
about the real Casey, though he did leave a few clues. ""The verses
owe their existence,"" he wrote in 1930, ""to my enthusiasm for
college baseball...and to my association with Will Hearst.""
Thayer's background is examined here as the basis for determining
the origins of the colorfast cast of characters behind his ""Ballad
of the Republic""--men who may have been ""Casey,"" ""Flynn,""
""Cooney"" and other members of the Mudville Nine.
