Just want to add my two cents of acknowledgement to the 125th anniversary of "Casey at the Bat" perhaps most remarkable for its fame given that it is written in rather complex heptameter.  CBS Sports had an interesting little article about the poem yesterday (the actual anniversary), including a couple of links, one of which will surely make you glad that Disney doesn't take on more poetry.  I much prefer the James Earl Jones--but of course he could read an index and make me melt.  I do agree with Mike Axisa that the integration of the lines of the poem on baseball cards  on Ben Henry's blog is the best.
