[edit] Biographical Information

Kevin "Casey" Collins played six years in the major leagues during the second dead-ball era. His last year was his best with the bat as he hit .268 and slugged .439 for a 1971 Tigers team which went 91-71.

Collins began in the minors in 1964, and finished up in 1974.

He went to Tech High in Springfield, MA, and was signed as a bonus baby in 1964. He left baseball in 1974 while still playing well because he didn't want to keep uprooting his family for the peripatetic baseball life.

He worked for 20 years for an automotive supply company.
