Shelley Duvall Presents: American Tall Tale And Legends - Casey At The Bat

VHS, LYON / LYRICK

Aaah, the boys of summer. (Summer of 1888, that is.) And thanks to Casey Frank, the new game called baseball is off to a grand slam-style start in the city of Mudville. Granted, Casey and the Mudville Hogs do play the game a bit differently. But with a few minor league adjustments and a little help from his friend Pop Gum, Casey gains all the confidence he needs to hit his first homer, the homer that signaled the beginning of modern baseball as we know it today. Meanwhile, Boss Big Jim Undercrawl wants to dump sludge from his mud factory right on top of Mudville Stadium which could leave both the team and the town wallowing in a big mess. But fear not, because Casey's at the bat and he hasn't struck out yet. It's baseball like you've never seen before. Join in as this colorful character comes to life with a little help from America's favorite storyteller, Shelley Duvall.
