It's true I have written and performed an adaptation of "Cool Casey," but I did not write the MAD magazine original — that was penned by Frank Jacobs, a MAD staff writer, and first published in 1960 (when I was ten). That's the version you have posted. My adaptation can be heard on Hungry for Music's "Bottom of the Fifth" CD, part of the "Baseball Diamonds" series of baseball-related songs and poetry. You can find it at hungryformusic.com. The CD's liner notes clearly state that my version is an adaptation of Mr. Jacobs' original.

Ron,
Please ignore previous comment from me—a typo.
