Let's check his career with the Yankees...had 80 strikeouts in 1920-1922 (all the same for those three years, but didn't lead the AL at all), 93 in 1923, leading in that dubious category by a considerable margin over the "runner-up", but ALSO hit a career high .393, still not winning the AL batting crown as Harry Heilman of the Tigers hit .403, also 1924, but led the AL in batting average at .378, narrowly missing the Triple Crown to Goose Goslin of the World Champion Washington Senators. His rather infamous 1925 season ("The Bellyache 'heard round the World"), narrowly missed leading the AL in SOs while missing 56 games of the 154-game schedule. 1926, Ruth's "comeback" season, not even close, as fellow teammate Tony Lazzeri whiffed 96 times to Ruth's 76. 1927, where his 60 HRs stood for 34 years (61 years if you count within the first 154 games of a 162-game season), he led in SOs once again, and neither his 165 RBIs or .356 average were good enough to lead the AL in either category! 1928, he led in that dubious category again, but still clubbed 54 HRs and drove in 146, losing out in the latter category to teammate Lou Gehrig by ONE. 1929-1932, Ruth actually cut down on his usual "quota" of whiffs, not leading in SOs, not even coming close! 1933, his SO total ballooned up to 90, but the free-swinging Jimmie Foxx of the Athletics outdid him in that dubious category. 1934, his final year as a Yankee, Ruth again reduced his strikeouts, but he also missed 29 games, and his HRs, RBIs, and, most important, BA were way down from his usual Stratospheric levels. So, out of 15 Yankee seasons, an impressive career of itself, Babe Ruth led the AL in strikeouts but THREE times, and given his batting averages and OBPs, it belied the imagine of the big-bellied, bow-legged free-swinger. And he did lead the AL in strikeouts in 1918, but still hit .300, and PITCHED in 20 games for the Red Sox, winning THIRTEEN of them, and pitched 166-1/3 innings, which means he averaged over EIGHT innings per appearance! Let's see Shoei Ohtani do THAT!
In the follow-on cartoon, "Casey Bats Again", he's MARRIED, and "Mrs. Casey" gives him the good news that a new generation of sluggers is on its way...or SO he THINKS. What they left out is Casey's three (at least) bastard brats that the poor doctor ALSO paid a house call around the same time to deliver. Kinda like fellow Irishman of the time, "Big Tim" Sullivan of Tammany Hall infamy (who knocked up at least six 'actresses' that he *ahem* sponsored), but on the baseball diamond.
So that's where the "Kill the umpire!" phrase came from. lol It doesn't matter what game you play, sport or not: never get too cocky, or you'll pay for it by losing...
One of the better shorts from Make Mine Music. It was one of a package films that Disney released during the majority of the 1940s. This picture was released in 1946.
Love Jerry Colonna's voice (he's the one narrating). He was well known back then for stretching syllables and lines like "Greetings, Gates!", "Who's Yehudi", and his observation "Ah, yes! [appropriate adjective], isn't it?!".
Elizabeth Alvarado I know, especially in Looney Tunes. Two of them actually featured him as a worm, and one called Hollywood Steps Out featured him personally...along with Yehudi himself. XD
Elizabeth Alvarado Oh yeah, nearly forgot. He and Ed Wynn made a hilarious pair, I love the scene where they were 'fixing' the White Rabbit's watch. XD
I mostly agree with you! I'd love to see Disney Channel air their classic cartoon shorts like this in their full, original form instead of being chopped up or re-edited for weird reviews.
I think that "Casey's the pride of them all" means that the pride of the people of Mudville was their doom. I know that losing a baseball game is not really doom most of the time, but the ending says that Casey striking out and losing the game extinguished joy from the town.
Agreed. Also t add to Your comment, Casey was focused on just the home run and got a bit too far ahead of Himself. He should have just focused on making contact with the ball and then He would have gotten those needed R.B.I's to win the game.
I think the moral of the story is Casey didn't win because he got angry and didn't have sportsmanship and being a good sport is how he would've won the game
This is referenced in the SNES name Earthbound where Ness can get and equip the Casey Bat. Even though it only has a 25% chance of hitting an enemy, it can give Ness a huge offensive power boost and this is very useful in getting instant kills on Starman Supers which has a 1/128 chance of dropping Poo's ultimate weapon "The Sword Of Kings" .
No, it means the first baseman caught the ball, resulting in Cooney being eliminated from play for the rest of the inning. And Barrows didn't even make it to first base when the pitcher caught the ball in his pitcher's glove. There are several kinds of gloves in baseball: catcher's mitts, first baseman's gloves, infielder's gloves, pitcher's gloves, and outfielder's gloves. They come in right-hand throw gloves that are worn on the player's left hand since the player is right-handed, left-hand throw gloves that are worn on the player's right hand since the player is left-handed, and switch-thrower's gloves that are worn by players who can use either hand. Sliding mitts protect batters who slide onto the base.
The primary lesson from Casey at the Bat: Don't get cocky!
NO.......MAN PLANS.....G-D LAUGHS

Yes, muinto bem.😗
Facile. Try: confidence, like beauty, is a floating slider. Humility is humanity.
Interesting to see this again, after so many years.
Legend has it 73 years later to this day, Casey is still out there on that ball field angrily chasing that ball.
Nah he met a girl and they had many daughters who went on to join the women's baseball league
Check out "Casey Bats Again" and see where he is after "Casey At The Bat".
Hahahaha!!! Good one!!
It's 78 years later now.

Later than that. The poem was written and published in 1888.

We knew he wasn't gonna hit it, but we also wanted him to. That's how good this whole short is.
Theme for this: Cockiness comes at a price. (i came up with it at school today after watching it)

One of my absolute earliest Disney memories! Thank you!
Some people don't know. Not only did Babe Ruth leed in home runs , he also led the league in strike outs.
It’s lead not leed

This is the equivalent of making a cartoon about baseball in 1980 today 💀
Wrong. Cartoon came out in 1946 and the poem came out in 1888 so 1946-1888=58 years. Now 2024-58=1966
I like the part where it just cuts to something entirely different. Does more than any description could.
"Whattaya know? The game is over."
I love that Earthbound references this poem.
0:54-0:58 sounds like a tornado siren. Just saying.
I knew I wasn’t the only one who thought that!
*SteeeeeeeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEEEEEEERIKE ONE!*
One strikeout isn't the end of the world. Babe Ruth struck out dozens of times and he still became a great ballplayer.
Cockiness does come with a price. Unfortunately, Casey learned that lesson the hard way.
Guys me and my group have to act out this poem in language arts😭 I’m the ump unfortunately…😭
Seems he is having trouble letting go of the game. XD

Wow.
Wow indeed.
LETS GO KIRN MIDDLE SCHOOL!
I'm pretty sure that counts as a Hit by Pitch on the first one. Whose up after Casey?
3:38
thank you SOO much for making me feel like it's 6am in 1988.
For me it's about 1992 but the sentiment is the same.
It really is a great poem, it sums up the whole nature of the game, how it can all turn around at the very last minute.
Except, sometimes, it doesn't.
So that's where the "Kill the umpire!" phrase came from. lol
It doesn't matter what game you play, sport or not: never get too cocky, or you'll pay for it by losing...
not only that, he lost his mojo...
it was all in his mind if nothing else
Nevertheless, a hometown hero became a big zero.
"It's a sad day in Mudville" is something my dad still says everytime the Broncos lose! :)
The original line was "there is no joy in Mudville"
nothing about this is accurate to the real poem
You got that right! It’s too be people can’t say that about the Raiders as well ;)
Daisy Rothschild So he says it all the time?
this is one of the best disney's short cartoons.
I had to watch this for a poem at school, everyone laughed until they started to cough
same
Me too. We read the poem and everyone at the beginning was like this is nothing like the poem and everyone laughed
So did my class.
SAME!
SAME!
The most famous Strike Out in the history of baseball

There's a reason you get three chances at bat. Don't blow two of them
Love Jerry Colonna's voice (he's the one narrating). He was well known back then for stretching syllables and lines like "Greetings, Gates!", "Who's Yehudi", and his observation "Ah, yes! [appropriate adjective], isn't it?!".
+MWolfL Yep, and they made many caricatures of him, in various cartoons, as well!

I know, especially in Looney Tunes. Two of them actually featured him as a worm, and one called Hollywood Steps Out featured him personally...along with Yehudi himself. XD
+MWolfL And who could forget Jerry's role as the March Hare in "Alice in Wonderland"?

Oh yeah, nearly forgot. He and Ed Wynn made a hilarious pair, I love the scene where they were 'fixing' the White Rabbit's watch. XD
And then he was traded to the Cubs.
And now the Orioles.
Where is he now?

This was when Disney was not just great but awesome.
The 1910s an era of great industrial advancement, the birth of machined flight, and most of all silly mustaches.
+Alex-Zander Browne 2:23- "The bat is getting in his hair, now the hair is getting in his bat!"
Amazing that the narrator soon went on to play the March Hare, in "Alice in Wonderland".
Don't forget that he also narrated Casey Jones
Of course.
Oh my god!
Elizabeth Alvarado Holy smokes! That is the March Hare! That's awesome!
I saw this at school today, decided to watch more from Make Mine Music.
Mudville vs. my hometown of Burbank where the Disney Studio is located. What an hilarious early Disney Easter Egg.
I think that "Casey's the pride of them all" means that the pride of the people of Mudville was their doom. I know that losing a baseball game is not really doom most of the time, but the ending says that Casey striking out and losing the game extinguished joy from the town.
Beware of your own hubris. A concept that is particularly relevant to a certain someone whom we all know. 3 guesses and the first 2 don't count.
I also like Casey is the brave engineer that came out after this one
Almost all the baseball players have second jobs during the off-season.
rw:the guy who said Hooray for our side! Hooray, hooray!" rly jinxed the game b4 it even started.
3:39 feel bad for the little guy
I love how Jerry Colonna (The March Hare) is the narrator.
i love this short!
One of the few Disney animated shorts, to not have a dream come true ending, lol.
You'll enjoy the sequel~~(1954) "Casey Bats Again" :)
Ever see their "Little Match Girl" segment? And that's a post-2000 one.
No, but it's still pretty funny.
Lizzy Chrome is
god I remeber this use to come on the old disney as a inturlued be for the next show would come on. I miss the old disney
I watched this at school.
Looked this up purely for nostalgia's sake.
This reminds me of Ferdinand with the stylistic choices.
Wow first Casey got a job of driving a train now he's in a baseball game wow that's some change of events
It's possible Casey's engineering job is for the off-season, as it can be hard to sustain an income only on pro sports.
1:43 that probably gonna be me on Super Bowl Sunday.
we watched this in class and this kid started roasting everybody
for example: oh that's (name of classmate)
it was so funny
The coach is givin' the boys the speech!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember watching this in 3rd grade!
7:20 I already learned from Bambi, that once you see birds chirping, something terrible has happened.
Gotta give it to Disney. They followed the source material right down to the ending.
The first time i saw this i laughed my ass off
So true 😂😂
Same 😂😂
Oh, so _that's_ why they call it Mudville.
The narrator would go on to voice the March Hare in Alice in Wonderland!
Actually he narrating The Brave Engineer and then The March Hare in Alice in Wonderland but you’re right.
I never realized there was two, a 1946 and a extended remake in 1954.
I've always had a philosophy and a saying: it is better to be too modest and not cocky, than to be too cocky and never modest.
How funny was that cartoon? Fantastic.
Read the poem first and understand it. Then upon seeing this cartoon, you will be laughing and be in stitches!
Agreed. Also t add to Your comment, Casey was focused on just the home run and got a bit too far ahead of Himself. He should have just focused on making contact with the ball and then He would have gotten those needed R.B.I's to win the game.
This segment was never included in the italian version of the film because baseball is not popular here and that's such a shame because it's awesome!
Italy should pick up baseball.
I have a version of this with the Italian narrator, I saw in the first year's of 90's
I read this story at school too
The wild and crazy Jerry Colonna...
The ending is just the best! it reminds me so much of Sammy Sosa when he played for the Cubs.
Casey, pride goes 'for a fallllllll...
I like the light Calvary reference!!!!!
we did exams at my school and we had this poem in it and no one got the meaning
I think the moral of the story is Casey didn't win because he got angry and didn't have sportsmanship and being a good sport is how he would've won the game
STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERIKE ONE!!!!
STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERIKE TWO!!!
Casey at the Bat
by Ernest Lawrence Thayer ©
Published: The Examiner (06-03-1888)
The Outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville nine that day:
The score stood four to two, with but one inning more to play.
And then when Cooney died at first, and Barrows did the same,
A sickly silence fell upon the patrons of the game.
A straggling few got up to go in deep despair. The rest
Clung to that hope which springs eternal in the human breast;
They thought, if only Casey could get but a whack at that -
We'd put up even money, now, with Casey at the bat.
But Flynn preceded Casey, as did also Jimmy Blake,
And the former was a lulu and the latter was a cake;
So upon that stricken multitude grim melancholy sat,
For there seemed but little chance of Casey's getting to the bat.
But Flynn let drive a single, to the wonderment of all,
And Blake, the much despis-ed, tore the cover off the ball;
And when the dust had lifted, and the men saw what had occurred,
There was Jimmy safe at second and Flynn a-hugging third.
Then from 5,000 throats and more there rose a lusty yell;
It rumbled through the valley, it rattled in the dell;
It knocked upon the mountain and recoiled upon the flat,
For Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the bat.
There was ease in Casey's manner as he stepped into his place;
There was pride in Casey's bearing and a smile on Casey's face.
And when, responding to the cheers, he lightly doffed his hat,
No stranger in the crowd could doubt 'twas Casey at the bat.
Ten thousand eyes were on him as he rubbed his hands with dirt;
Five thousand tongues applauded when he wiped them on his shirt.
Then while the writhing pitcher ground the ball into his hip,
Defiance gleamed in Casey's eye, a sneer curled Casey's lip.
And now the leather-covered sphere came hurtling through the air,
And Casey stood a-watching it in haughty grandeur there.
Close by the sturdy batsman the ball unheeded sped-
"That ain't my style," said Casey. "Strike one," the umpire said.
From the benches, black with people, there went up a muffled roar,
Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore.
"Kill him! Kill the umpire!" shouted someone on the stand;
And its likely they'd a-killed him had not Casey raised his hand.
With a smile of Christian charity great Casey's visage shone;
He stilled the rising tumult; he bade the game go on;
He signaled to the pitcher, and once more the spheroid flew;
But Casey still ignored it, and the umpire said, "Strike two."
"Fraud!" cried the maddened thousands, and echo answered fraud;
But one scornful look from Casey and the audience was awed.
They saw his face grow stern and cold, they saw his muscles strain,
And they knew that Casey wouldn't let that ball go by again.
The sneer is gone from Casey's lip, his teeth are clenched in hate;
He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate.
And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go,
And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey's blow.
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville - mighty Casey has struck out.
"Phin"
Casey at the Bat by Ernest Lawrence Thayer
Casey reminds me of Heddo at the end of "Rookie of the Year."
God rest the soul of Jerry Colonna
I knew he sounded like The March Hare... I could identify that high G at the beginning from a mile away...
Lol we watched this in language arts just wanted to watch it again!
5:39 That's worthy of a gif
"Steeeeeeeee-rike one!"
Flynn hit a grounder to 3rd and the 3rd baseman couldn't even snag it!!!
This was actually seen in"Make Mine Music" in the movies.
we're doing this as a play and i can't unsee this fucker as casey.
this is all i see when ever i watch a baseball game...
We watched this on English class and everyone was trying so so hard not to laugh at how Casey’s legs were so skinny
This is referenced in the SNES name Earthbound where Ness can get and equip the Casey Bat. Even though it only has a 25% chance of hitting an enemy, it can give Ness a huge offensive power boost and this is very useful in getting instant kills on Starman Supers which has a 1/128 chance of dropping Poo's ultimate weapon "The Sword Of Kings" .
6:05: Actually that's a typical day at the ballpark these days
Rain, "Good grief!" as Charlie Brown would say.
Yep.
8:11 I guess, that's what Caey gets for being so cocky. His teammates didn't help either.
The coach can really chirp at the umpire.
Too bad the coach was physically shorter than the umpire.
I'm 10 years old and at school we read the extremely boring poem version of Casey at the bat for about a week and we watched this about a week ago
Me too D:
ME TOO
+StarSketcher same here!
Poem came first
Hopefully you get Annabel Lee by Edgar Allen Poe. Pretty fun poem.
Who else thought he died at the end for a second
Like, the ball hit him to death
Disney would've done something like that let's be real
No, it means the first baseman caught the ball, resulting in Cooney being eliminated from play for the rest of the inning.
And Barrows didn't even make it to first base when the pitcher caught the ball in his pitcher's glove.
There are several kinds of gloves in baseball: catcher's mitts, first baseman's gloves, infielder's gloves, pitcher's gloves, and outfielder's gloves.
They come in right-hand throw gloves that are worn on the player's left hand since the player is right-handed, left-hand throw gloves that are worn on the player's right hand since the player is left-handed, and switch-thrower's gloves that are worn by players who can use either hand.
Sliding mitts protect batters who slide onto the base.
When Disney was awesome
this is my favorite video
