Gunter shared Casey at the Bat with Hopper and the perfomance was nothing short of legendary. The August 1888 show (exact date is unknown) had members from the New York and Chicago ball clubs in the audience and the clipping now had a clear and obvious use. Weeks later Gunter found another interesting article describing an upcoming performance at the Wallack Theatre by comedian De Wolf Hopper - who was also his personal friend. The poem received very little attention and a few weeks later it was partially republished in the New York Sun, though the author was now known as Anon.Ī New Yorker named Archibald Gunter clipped out the poem and saved it as a reference item for a future novel. In the Jissue of The Examiner, Phin appeared as the author of the poem we all know as Casey at the Bat. Thayer who signed his humorous Lampoon articles with the pen name Phin.
William, who had experience editing the Harvard Lampoon while at Harvard College, took to California three Lampoon staff members. At the completion of the election, Hearst gave the newspaper to his son, William Randolph Hearst. To self-promote his brand of politics, Hearst purchased the San Francisco Examiner. It all started in 1885 when George Hearst decided to run for state senator in California. CASEY AT THE BAT Ernest Thayer Casey at the Bat
