……here’s a photo I took at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City Saturday night of some compelling clouds that added a sense of gloom (appropriate for Royals fans this season and Indians fans lately). Chance Hayes of the National Weather Service here in Wichita tells me they appear to be the underside of a spreading cumulonimbus anvil — which makes sense, since storms hit Kansas City early Sunday morning.
The poem “Casey at the Bat” was first published in the San Francisco Examiner on June 3, 1888, and there was a Casey at the bat for the Indians in Kansas City, too: Wichita State alum Casey Blake.
