Casey at the Bat (Paperback)

Paperback. Visions in Poetry is an exciting and unique series of classic poems illustrated by outstanding contemporary artists in stunning hardcover editions. Casey at the Bat, the fourth book in the series, is more than a poem about a proud and mighty slugger who strikes out during the big game. It is a slice of baseball lore, as much a part of the game as hot dogs and the seventh-inning stretch. Illustrator Joe Morse sets the poem on gritty urban streets with a multiracial cast of characters. It's a startlingly fresh approach that not only revives the poem for a new generation, but also brings it new richness and depth. ILLUSTRATIONS: Colour AGES 10 + The fourth book in the highly acclaimed Visions in Poetry series is a slice of baseball lore, which revives the poem for a new generation.
