JODI B

Yes, Casey was was quite a character. Quite a friendly guy when not in the ballpark, as some of his drinking buddies included Ernest Hemingway.
But, when he was on the mound he was very aggressive....batter beware. He was known to throw at them, just as soon as pitch to them.

His starting stats are mediocre....but, as a reliever, he was very effective. I think he still holds the all-time Major League W-L percentage record
(for relievers with at least 50 decisions) of 51-20....a .727 pct.
