- Hoping for a son to redeem his name, Casey has several daughters instead who happen to be all dynamite baseball players themselves.
- Casey is upset about having struck out his last chance at bat but his wife suggests they have a son to follow in their dad's footsteps. Eventually, a child is born but, to Casey's dismay, it's a girl, not a boy. His wife suggests they try again several more times but each time, it's still another girl. Casey is depressed but his pals tell him that in spite of everything, they still make a powerful baseball team. Casey likes the idea and accepts. However, the day of the big game, he is nervous that one of them will strike out and attempts to make the last home run himself disguised as one of his own daughters.—Matt Yorston <georgey@atcon.com>
- Following his loss while batting for the Mudville 9, Casey gets word from his wife that they have a child on the way. The news excites Casey, bringing him joy that he will have a son to carry on the baseball tradition. However, Casey's joy soon turns to sorrow when his first child turns out to be a girl.
Following his first daughter's birth, Casey and his wife have several more children (for a grand total of 9). However, almost every single child born to Casey and his wife is a girl. Sadly, Casey decides to call it quits.
The boys down at the local pub soon help Casey see the 'silver lining' in his situation. Though they may be girls, they take after their Dad with their fixation with baseball. Casey soon becomes their Manager, and names them 'The Caseyettes.' Soon after, the abandoned Mudville field where Casey struck out is fixed up as good as new, for Casey's girls to play.
Finally, the score in the 9th inning has his girls behind by 1 point, causing him to panic that his team will loose just like he did with the Mudville team. Casey brushes his daughter Patsy aside, and comes to the plate in a uniform and wig. However, Casey misses the first two pitches. But as the third comes sailing over the plate, Patsy comes up from behind her Dad and hits it, making a home run, and winning the game.
