Ernest Lawrence Thayer wrote the poem "Casey at the Bat: A Ballad of the Republic Sung 1h 1888." The narrative takes place at the conclusion of an inning in a baseball game.
The poem resembles a prose tale in its clarity and dramatic aspect. The poem captures the anticipation, excitement, and drama of professional sports, as well as the reaction of the spectators who, for a little period in that stadium, abandon their daily routines and jobs in order to see their hero fulfill their goals.
Baseball is a game that truly defines America and its people, as seen in the poem, which is written in a straightforward manner with four-line verses and a rhythmical structure that makes it seem like a ballad.
