I have twelve cards of Casey Blake. This one is from 2010 Topps.
Playing career: Third baseman Casey Blake played thirteen
years in the major leagues, mostly with the Indians and Dodgers. In 1,265 games
he hit .264 with 167 HR and 616 RBI. Between 2003 and 2010 he hit at least 17
home runs a year.
My memories: Although he spent more time with the Indians
and Dodgers, for some reason I remembered him only as a Dodger and completely
forget he was an Indian. That is the power of playing for a big-market team, I
guess.
Where he is now: Owns the Casey Blake Baseball Camp in
Indianola, IA.
Google Autocomplete results: He is fourth when you type
Casey B, between Casey Brooks, a fashion photographer, and Casey Biggs, an
actor. Another prominent Casey Blake is a Columbia history professor.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Hank Blalock.
