Sean Casey

Sean Casey is the rare ballplayer everyone genuinely seems to like, which is exactly how he earned the nickname The Mayor. He would stand on first base chatting up every runner who reached, and you got the sense it came from real warmth, not gamesmanship. As a hitter he was a pure line-drive contact guy, a three-time All-Star who sprayed doubles all over the gap for the Reds. After his playing days he slid naturally into broadcasting, where that same easy charm translates perfectly. Casey reminds me that baseball, for all its numbers, is still a human game, and likability is its own kind of legacy.

Sean Casey is an American former professional baseball player born on July 2, 1974, in Willingboro Township, New Jersey. A first baseman, he played in Major League Baseball primarily for the Cincinnati Reds and was a three-time All-Star. Famously friendly and talkative on the field, he earned the nickname The Mayor and later became a baseball broadcaster.
