I'm lost. Adrift in Americam pop culture references again, I suspect.

There's typos in that version. This link has a cleaner copy and an audio of the poem by De Wolf Hopper:
http://www.baseball-almanac.com/poetry/po_case.shtml

Quote:
When William De Wolf Hopper performed the poem at Wallack's Theatre, on Broadway and 30th Street in New York City, players from the New York Giants and Chicago White Stockings were guests in the auditorium.
Ernest Lawrence Thayer actually wrote three versions of Casey at the Bat — the first printing, a self-corrupted version, and the revised version.
