Sean Casey, the beloved first baseman for the Cincinnati Reds from 1998 to 2005, was as renowned for his personality as he was for his consistent hitting. Affectionately nicknamed "The Mayor" by fans and media, Casey earned his reputation for his exceptionally friendly and outgoing nature, famously chatting with every opposing player who reached first base. A left-handed batter, he was a three-time All-Star (1999, 2001, 2004) and a reliable fixture in the Reds' lineup, finishing his 12-year MLB career with a .302 batting average. His combination of solid offensive production, including a standout 1999 season where he hit .332 with 25 home runs and 99 RBIs, and his genuine, approachable demeanor made him a definitive fan favorite and led to his induction into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame.
