Katie at the Bat

Katie At The Bat is a re-write of the classic Casey at the Bat - A Ballad of the Republic Sung in 1888 by Ernest Lawrence Thayer. After more than a century of American lore - telling and retelling the story of Casey's unforgettable strike out, Katie at the Bat steps to the plate and reverses history. This new heroine is forced to face her fears and put out her best effort, despite her recent hitting slump and the fans' lack of confidence. Katie's big moment is compared to challenging circumstances faced by any young person in a stressful situation. In the final tense moments Katie grits her teeth and gives it her best shot. The moral is clear and straight forward - what matters is to believe in yourself and then anything is possible. The mission of the Katie At The Bat Team - A Non Profit Helping Kids Hit Home Runs In Life, is spelled out in the words and storyline of the book Katie At The Bat.
