Why do the fans want Casey to come up to bat?
They believe Casey will help them win the game.
The fans do not like Flynn.
Blake tore the cover off the ball.
A straggling few got up to go in deep despair. The rest
Clung to the hope which springs eternal in the human breast;
They thought, “If only Casey could but get a whack at that—
We’d put up even money now, with Casey at the bat.”

But Flynn preceded Casey, as did also Jimmy Blake,
And the former was a hoodoo, while the latter was a cake;
So upon that stricken multitude grim melancholy sat,
For there seemed but little chance of Casey getting to the bat.
At the end of the poem, how did the fans feel about the way Casey played?
proud
disappointed
happy
excited

"Casey at the Bat" is told from the perspective of Casey.
The fans who are watching the Mudville team play are retelling the story as they remember it happening.
The narrator of the poem is not a character involved in the story.
