"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
It all started with a simple error; I mistakenly made some settings on my phone, which affected my phone’s operational settings. No big deal, I thought. I’ve done this before. But this time was different. I noticed a change on my device; many apps weren’t working, mainly my crypto wallet—it held my crypto wallet, which contained $512,000 worth of Bitcoin. When I realized what I’d done, I froze, then panicked. No backups. No seed phrase written down. Nothing. I tried to stay calm, but every second that passed felt like a countdown to permanent loss. I spent hours online, reading recovery guides, downloading data recovery tools, and more. While scrolling through a late-night tech forum, I saw a thread about crypto investment and forex trading scam victims and how they managed to get restitution. Someone mentioned a crypto recovery specialist called META TECH RECOVERY PRO, known for handling complex wallet recoveries and also recovering funds lost to scams. I was skeptical, the internet is wide and wild, you never know who is on the other side of the screen, for me to just easily release my wallet information to.
I reached out to META TECH RECOVERY PRO out of desperation because what do I have else to lose? I was never expecting a swift engagement; their response was quick and professional. Their confidence, reviews, and composure made me believe they are worthy of handling my task. They were transparent, knowledgeable, and honest. That was more than I’d gotten from any recovery software I have been downloading for weeks, and paying for passkeys. They laid out their working terms, which were straightforward, and their price was fair. It was a back-and-forth phase with META TECH RECOVERY PRO during the recovery of my lost Bitcoin Wallet. META TECH RECOVERY PRO was able to recover my Bitcoin wallet seed phrase. My wallet was safe. The funds were untouched, and that’s when I concluded that you can never find any reliable recovery professional on Google besides META TECH RECOVERY PRO. That experience taught me more than I ever wanted to know about digital security and about how fragile digital assets can be without proper backup. But it also reminded me that even in the worst situations, there’s still hope if you know where to look, and as for me, META TECH RECOVERY PRO was my ray of light.
