A great Casey story is when he (and Mantle) were called to testify before a Senate Committee looking at baseball's antitrust exemption. They ask Casey what he thinks about it and he launches into a 45 minute monologue about his time baseball and God knows what else and essentially says nothing when all is said and done. They then ask Mantle what he thinks, and he brilliantly responds, I agree with everything Casey just said.
