Sean Casey, a 12-year Major League first baseman, was a three-time National League All-Star during his Reds tenure, Casey batted .302 with 130 home runs and 735 RBI in his career. Casey played for the Indians (1997), Reds (1998-2005), Pirates (2006), Tigers (2006-07) and Red Sox (2008). Casey finished in the top 10 in National League batting average three times in his career and had six seasons in which he hit better than .300. After being traded to the Tigers in 2006, he went on to hit .529 with 2 home runs in the World Series. He is the only player in MLB history to open two new stadiums with the first hit, a single to open Miller Park in Milwaukee followed by a home run at PNC Park.

The University of Richmond graduate received the Ernie Lombardi Award in 2004 as the Reds' most valuable player, and in June 2012, Casey was inducted into the Reds Hall of Fame.

Known as "The Mayor," Casey was one of baseball's most outgoing and likeable players. His personality helped propel him to become a regular at the MLB Network working as a commentator and studio analyst where he has been a part of an Emmy winning team on MLB Tonight.

He has received many honors for his service to the community throughout his playing career, including the coveted Hutch Award in 1999. Today, Casey is invested in supporting children and adults with special needs through his foundation the Miracle League of the South Hills. Located in his backyard of Upper St. Clair, PA, he spearheaded the initiative to raise over $2.5 million to build the Miracle League of the South Hills field and playground where children of all abilities can be a part of a team and play the great game of baseball. Currently, Sean and his team have raised another $1 million to help with facility improvements and build a concession stand called 

The Next Inning where he has started a job training program, teaching kids and adults with special needs important life and job skills. The program has hired the Miracle League athletes, some for their first ever paying job!

You will often find Sean Casey during the Miracle League of the South Hills season announcing games, pitching to the kids, or showing off his lefty swing. You can also find him doing his The mayor office show on all podcast platforms.
