I have discovered several illustrated version of this poem.
Casey at the Bat drawings by LeRoy Neiman introduction by Joe Torre
The introduction by Joe Torre is inspiring and insightful. I loved the layout of the book-large in size, words spaced out to build suspense. The illustrations were too smudgy for me.
Illustrated by Gerald Fitzgerald-These illustrations were blurry too. My favorite rendition has been Patricia Polacco's. This one also subsitutes different word from the original.

Casey Back at Bat by Dan Gutman illustrated by Steve Johnson & Lou Fancher
This humorous sequel parallels the structure of the original narrative. Children will enjoy the absurd humor. Consideration: Some women thought Casey was a "jerk".
