From the benches, black with people, there went up a muffled roar,
Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore.
“Kill him! Kill the umpire!” shouted someone on the stand;
And it’s likely they’d have killed him had not Casey raised his hand.
All three were charged with battery on a sports official during an event.
Sad that there has to be a separate section of the law for this specifically.
