He also wore a #25 jersey when he was introduced in Pittsburgh a while back.
You can kinda see it here:

I was thinking that #20 was what he wore in high school... for some reason, whatever number it was, it wasn't available when he came to the Reds, which was why he chose #21.

#20 was Frank Robinson's number [also the "Chief"'s as well].Originally Posted by TeamBoone

Thanks Kitty. That would be a very good reason why it wasn't available!

I know most people here wanted Sean gone....but there's just something not right about looking at the above picture.

You typed what I was thinking. Regardless of the baseball/money reasons, it just doesn't look right.Originally Posted by redsfan30
He had #22 in high school, I recall because I remember the Real Reds segment when they showed it being retired.
And yes, that picture is terrible to see, even though I advocated the trade.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

He just wont look right grounding out to 2nd in that Pirates uni...
OK then, why would #22 not be available in Cincinnati?Originally Posted by Joseph

The picture of him in a Pirates jersey will take some getting used to...
yea it's weird to see sean casey being in a buco uniform but atleast our numbers of grounded itno double plays will go down
He came up with Cleveland in 1997 wearing #52. #22 was being worn by Brian Giles at the time.Originally Posted by TeamBoone
When he came to Cincinnati in 1998, #22 was being worn by Jon Nunnally, an outfielder who came over to the Reds in '97 from KC.
As he had not yet been elected Mayor, he likely lacked the leverage to get a "seasoned major leaguer" to give up #22, and thus settled on #21.

When Casey came to the Reds in 1998 #22 was already taken by Jon Nunnally, I presume that Casey took the next closest number, 21, and decided to stick with it in 1999 and on despite 22 being available.Originally Posted by TeamBoone
