I was watching Ken Burns’ Baseball last night and found a new appreciation for Casey.
As old as I am, Casey was way before my time, but it comes across in the videos how charming a crazy old man as manager can be.
Isn’t this who you want running the team?
When Terry’s time is up and the team heads for another down-cycle let’s get someone like this in there. Imagine a half-shot old man version of Bobby V?
Tomorrow I will tell you why 37 should be unretired, and it is not out of disrespect for the man.
By the way, color photos of Mets from that era are awesome.
