"Morse has reinvented the poem, Casey at the Bat, through strong visuals. Casey (a.k.a. KC) is a swaggering, cool young man, and his Mudville 9 are a group of multiracial inner-city kids who play ball. The ball ground is an urban jungle of chain-link fences, concrete buildings, and graffiti-covered walls. Morse stays true to the poem’s spirit by the images of intensity, emotion, and drama felt during the ball game."--Ministry of Education website.
