Nap Lajoie credited Doc Casey for bringing him into pro ball. Lajoie, a Providence hack driver, was dubious about playing professionally until he saw the 5'6" Casey catching for Pawtucket (New England League). Casey switched to third base, averaging 135 ML games a season from 1901 through 1907. He became a dentist and ran a Detroit drug store. (JK)
