英语词汇casey at the bat的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

has struck out. This mock-heroic poem by Ernest Laurence Thayer (1863– 1940) was first published in the San Francisco Examiner on June 3, 1888, and Casey at the Bat has been popular ever since. Its initial popularity was due as much to the actor De Wolf Hopper, who included the 13 stanza poem in his repertoire, as it was to the poet, a former editor of the Harvard Lampoon. Everyone knows that there was no joy in Mudville when the mighty Casey struck out, but few are aware that Thayer patterned his fabled slugger on a real player, Daniel Maurice Casey, who was still posing for newspaper photographers 50 years after the poem’s initial publication. Dan Casey, a native of Binghamton, New York, holds no records worthy of recording—not even as a strikeout king. He was a pitcher and an outfielder for Detroit and Philadelphia, but his career was overshadowed by the exploits of his elder brother, Dennis, an outfielder for Baltimore and New York. Casey died in 1943, when he was 78, in Washington, D.C. As for Thayer, he was paid only five dollars for his poem, which De Wolf Hopper re- cited over 5,000 times.
