Penned by Ernest Thayer in 1888, "Casey at the Bat" is a longform poem describing a typical baseball game, wherein the fans of the "Mudville Nine" are rooting for their beloved hitter Casey to win the game for them. An iconic poem in the annals of baseball history, it is possibly the [[Ur Example]] of [[Down to The Last Play]].

* [[Defictionalization]]: In a tribute to the poem, the real-life Stockton Ports minor league baseball team renamed themselves the Mudville Nine in 2000 and 2001.
* [[Down to The Last Play]]: {{spoiler|In this case, Casey did not win the game for Mudville.}}
