Authors Note: This is a diary entry about how Casey ruined the game for his team; it is also from a former fan of his. (From the story, “Casey at the Bat”)
Dear Diary,
Today during Casey’s game his team was losing four to two and he totally lost the game for his team, all because of his ego. They were losing, but when Casey was up to bat the crowd went wild, expecting to see something amazing happen. I don’t understand why everyone thinks that Casey is amazing at baseball. He seems like he is just as skilled as the other players on his team. When he was up to bat, he didn’t focus on the ball or the pitcher, but he just focused on the crowd and the fans. He was so focused on what everybody saw; probably hoping he could be the star player. When Casey was batting, the pitcher threw the ball and strike one called the umpire. He said to the ump “That ain’t my style.” Which I think is really bad because it can either ruin your reputation or make your fans dislike you. People that were watching him wanted to kill the umpire, because Casey had gotten a strike. If he really wanted to win then he could have swung at one of the pitches. On the second pitch he gets another strike and eventually strikes out. I think that Casey could have changed the game if he would have tried and not tried to impress anyone.
Sincerely,
A fan
