Casey at the Bat

This silent film is based on the poem Casey at the Bat by Ernest L. Thayer written about baseball in the San Francisco Examiner in 1888. The silent film tells the story of the town Mudville and their team the Mudville Nine. In the story the team finds themselves down to their last out when the local hero the Mighty Casey steps up to the plate. With the help from the Indianapolis Blues and Cincinnati Red Stockings of the Vintage Base Ball Associations this short film will bring back memory of the silent classics of old in helping to tell the story of Casey at the Bat.
