For quite some time, it was a morning ritual on a New York radio station to play read the following poem on the morning of the Super Bowl. The reason was obvious: The program's DJ/host was not a great fan of football but was a fanatic of the Nation's Pastime. Time and distance have robbed me of the name of that host and of the station upon which he held court (although I believe it was WCBS). Even so, I would like to provide you with the iconic baseball poem: "Casey at the Bat".
Of course, it was made into a cartoon which was NOT faithful to the original poem but entertaining nonetheless: "Casey At The Bat"
Which brought about a sequel: "Casey Bats Again"
