Hugh Casey was one of the most colorful members of the iconic Brooklyn Dodgers of the 1940s. He played with the likes of Jackie Robinson, Dixie Walker, Joe Medwick, and Pete Reiser, and along the way he helped redefine the role of the relief pitcher. This book covers Casey’s life and career in great detail, the first to truly do so.
Lyle Spatz served as chairman of SABR's Baseball Records Committee from 1991 to 2016. He is the recipient of SABR's Bob Davids and Henry Chadwick, and Seymour Medal awards, and among the books he has written or edited are biographies of Bill Dahlen, Willie Keeler, Dixie Walker and Hugh Casey.
