Having the speed of a snail and just average at best power didn't help, either. But he was a solid pro and a salesman of the game, and there's a lot to be said for that.Ron Ieracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784507810080514099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-27295124889580756582009-01-27T17:46:00.000-05:002009-01-27T17:46:00.000-05:00Casey had the chance to be a better ballplayer tha...Casey had the chance to be a better ballplayer than he ended up being. I can honestly say I've never seen another guy who was so injury prone---well, maybe Nomar Garciaparra. But he's the only one who comes close. Casey was and is a great guy---no doubt about that---but whether it was a lack of conditioning (as I suspect) or what, the guy just didn't stay on the field at all after the first 3 or 4 years of his career. I don't think he would have been in Cooperstown or anything, but he surely ended up a lesser ballplayer than he should have been.WilliamJPellashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774466220683142262noreply@blogger.com
