Sean Casey, an Upper St. Clair native who played for the Pirates in 2006, will join the MLB Network. An official announcement will come tomorrow.
Casey retired last week, ending a 12-year career which included stints with the Cleveland Indians (1997), Cincinnati Reds (1998-2005), Pirates, Detroit Tigers (2006-07) and Boston Red Sox (2008).
Casey was one of the nicest, most accessible players in the game and was nicknamed, “The Mayor.” He has a .302 career batting average with 1,531 hits in 1,405 games.
