At The Bat, written by Ernest Lawrence Thayer, is a poem about a baseball player from Mudville who apparently played a great game of baseball.

In the poem “Casey at Bat” and story “David and Goliath,” a comparison of David and Casey shows differences and similarities. One of the similarities is that they both faced giants. David faced the literal giant Goliath. A verse in the Bible says “The Philistine army had a hero named Goliath who was from the town of Gath and was over nine feet tall.” Casey’s giant was him overcoming his ego. An example of this is, “There was pride in Casey’s bearing and a smile on Casey’s face.” Another similarity

This means that casey was confident that he would get a hit because he step up to the plate simple and calm. However Casey knew that if he struck out then the team would lose the game

team is loosing and Casey's chance of hitting is very little. This experience is described with humor by him not getting to bat when the poem makes Casey seem like he is the team's best hitter. Then he doesn't even get to bat is is humorous. Next Casey gets up to bat and the crowd starts cheering so he "lightly doffed his hat".

Yankees should have never been put in a such a position, their backs-to the-wall in a seventh game. The team was far too talented for that to have happened. And it is with the same staunch belief that I place much of the blame at the feet of manager Casey Stengel, not in a way to attack his character, but to question his astuteness as a team leader at that point in his career. Of all of the questionable choices he made in the 1960 Fall Classic, it was the use of his pitching staff for which Stengel
