Sean Casey retired today, ending his 12 year career. Even though Casey did not play much with the Red Sox (under 160 at bats), he was fan favorite, and one of the most beloved players in the clubhouse. Casey will be remembered by most as a great clubhouse guy, that players affectionately called "The Mayor". To be honest, he kind of got a raw deal in Boston. Francona and Co. seemed to lose faith in him as the season went on, even though he was hitting above .350. He never hit for much power, but the guy knew how to get on base. These are the type of players I really enjoy, because Casey always seemed like a "normal" guy. A guy you could have a beer with, and not feel like you are having drink with a celebrity. Dueling Couches salutes you Mr. Sean Casey...but now the question is....Does he come back as coach? Or become an MLB analyst?
**UPDATE** Casey will be joining the MLB Network...Wow that was fast.
