Last week, I had a shocking encounter. We were engaging in some light-hearted office banter about nicknames, and I mentioned that we should call someone Casey at the Bat, because her initials are KC. One person chuckled, and two looked at me in bewilderment. They never heard of the poem, and obviously didn’t grasp the reference. So I thought it would be an interesting thing to see whether people still learn and know poetry in America.
