"Casey at the Bat" from The Book of Guys
"In the Ernest Thayer original, it's a tragedy when Casey strikes out, but of course that depends on which ballpark you're in. In my version, the game is not in Mudville, it's in Dustburg, and people are overjoyed. When I wrote this, the line about the pigeons made me laugh out loud, and I almost laughed out loud at the line about the crowd grabbing hold of the bumpers and rocking him to and fro. A cruel poem." -Garrison Keillor, from the introduction in The Keillor Reader

"Casey at the Bat" is one of 21 stories included in The Book of Guys, which is marking 25 years since its original publication in 1993.
WATCH Garrison read "Casey at the Bat" aloud
As Garrison Keillor says, "Guys are in trouble these days. Years ago, manhood was an opportunity for achievement and now it is a problem to be overcome. Guys who once might have painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel or composed Don Giovanni are now just trying to be Mr. O.K. All-Rite, the man who can bake a cherry pie, converse easily about intimate things, cry, be vulnerable, be passionate in a skillful way, and yet also be the guy who lifts them bales and totes that barge. Being all-rite is the wrong way to seend your life. Guys are meant to be lovers and artists and adventurers, meant to be noble and free-ranging, bold, prosperous, good-humored, audacious. So it's time for guys to free themselves from women, let women deal with their own lives, and stop feeling guilty. It's time for women to take over the world so that guys can do this."
These 21 tales about guys and their troubles and foibles will have you laughing whether you are a man or a woman so sit back and enjoy. Available as a book or as a book on tape (nominated for Best Spoken Word Audio).
"Keillor takes delicious swipes at the media, fad causes, political correctness and American tabloid culture as he convincingly sketches the precarious state of his fellow males, longing for the days when they could just be guys." - Publishers Weekly

Many binary operations are rippers. I invested about $420,000 then I decided to withdraw after several weeks but the withdrawal wasn’t successful, then I tried to contact the binary operation email and phone number, I didn’t get any response from them that was when everything started looking weird. Some weeks later I got a mail from them insisting I should invest more money if I want to withdraw my money which I rejected, and I never heard from them again that it was when I knew I had been scammed. I was really devastated at that moment and felt so bad that my hard earned money was gone. After some month I came across a lot of testimonies on many bitcoin site how E/mail, SMITHWHITEHACKSERVICE@GMAIL COM had helped many people recovered there stolen, scammed or duped money on bitcoin or any other form on digital currency. I contacted them and they promised to help me get my money back, asked me some personal details of the scammer which I provided. The result was amazing. I recovered all my stolen money back within 72 hours. I was so happy as I never believed I could get my money back. Thanks SMITHWHITE HACK SERVICE you restore Joy into my life after several pains I’m so indebted!!
