Heh.

Just one more reason to fall at the feet of Sean Casey:

Sean Casey walked in the clubhouse door Thursday, hours after hitting his 100th career home run, and found -- nothing.

Two days earlier, the Reds had been greeted by 500 red balloons on the ceiling of the cramped room as a Nike-conceived celebration of Ken Griffey Jr.'s 500th homer.

Before long, though, Casey got his due.

"Look what Nike sent me!" Casey shouted across the room, in the general direction of Griffey.

In his hand, he held a mostly deflated balloon left over from Griffey's stash, with a black "1" written in marker where the "5" had been.
