At least three other films based on Thayer's poem preceded this 1927 release: an [[Thomas Edison|Edison]] short in 1899, another short starring [[Harry T. Morey]] in 1913, and a [[Casey at the Bat (1916 film)|five-reel feature]] starring DeWolf Hopper in 1916. *[[Walt Disney Productions]] produced an [[animated short|Animated Segment]] adaptation of the poem for the film ''[[Make Mine Music]]'' (1946) and uses the original text, but is set in 1902 according to the opening song's lyrics, instead of 1888. This version is recited by [[Jerry Colonna (entertainer)|Jerry Colonna]]. It was later released as an individual short on July 16, 1954. A sequel short was also produced ''[[Casey Bats Again]]'' and released on June 18, 1954. *A 1976 animated short adaptation, featuring narration by [[Paul Frees]], was released in 1976 by Fine Arts Films.<ref>{{Citation|last=Wilson|first=John|title=Casey at the Bat|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1926232/|type=Animation, Short|publisher=Fine Arts Films|access-date=2021-12-30}}</ref> *In 1986, [[Elliott Gould]] starred as "Casey" in the ''[[Shelley Duvall]]'s Tall Tales and Legends'' adaptation of the story, which also starred [[Carol Kane]], [[Howard Cosell]], [[Bob Uecker]], [[Bill Macy]] and [[Rae Dawn Chong]]. The screenplay, adapted from the poem, was written by [[Andy Borowitz]] and the production was directed by [[David Steinberg]]. *In ''[[The Dream Team (1989 film)|The Dream Team]]'' (1989), [[Michael Keaton]]'s character announces that "there is no joy in Mudville" after giving a fellow mental patient three "strikes" for psychotic behavior. *In 1993 the last paragraph is quoted in the film ''[[Short Cuts]]'' (by [[Robert Altman]]), when [[Lyle Lovett]] as Andy Bitkower is calling anonymously [[Andie MacDowell]] as Ann Finnigan in minute 01:34:58.
