Casey at the Bat: A Ballad of the Republic Sung in the Year 1888

The
famous poem about an exciting baseball game in Mudville first
appeared in the newspaper The San Francisco Examiner in 1888. The
illustrations here turn this into a cool scrapbook, featuring
baseball cards, tickets and more. A great book for baseball fans of
any age.
