Released in 1954, Casey Bats Again is a comedy, family and animation film directed by Jack Kinney, running about 8 minutes. “Casey wants one son to carry on his fame, instead has nine daughters who can play the game.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. 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.
