Sean Casey, nicknamed “The Mayor,” is the former Major League Baseball first baseman who played for the Cleveland Indians, Cincinnati Reds, Pittsburgh Pirates, Detroit Tigers, and Boston Red Sox. He is currently a broadcaster and commentator for the MLB Network.
During his tenure in Cincinnati, and later in Pittsburgh and Detroit, Casey was regarded as approachable and friendly, and thus received his nickname, “The Mayor,” which came from his reputation for chatting casually with every runner who made it to first base, and also from his very public charity work. On May 16, 2007, Casey was voted in 2007 as “the friendliest player in baseball” by fellow players in a Sports Illustrated poll. Carrer Accomplishments:
