BIO:

Tom Kasee was only 23 when he led Abrams Texaco to a 34-1 record, an ASA Metro title, and an 8th place finish in the ASA Nationals in 1967.  Three years later, Tom was anchoring the defense for what is considered to have been one of the top teams in Greater Cincinnati softball history: Century Tire.  Century dominated area softball from 1970-1973, winning numerous area major league titles and national invitationals in 1970 and ‘71.  Their 4th place finish in the ASA Major Nationals in 1971 has never been equalled by any area team.  Tom went on to star for Dase’s Place in 1974, when he led the Ohio Valley Classic in home runs.  Considered to be the first of a new breed of shortstops, Tom broke the mold of the smaller, singles hitting shortstops of the fifties and sixties with his 6-2, 225 pound frame.  He won several Most Valuable Player and Home Run Leader awards during his career, and was named to numerous all-tournament teams.  A life-time .500 hitter, Tom is believed to have hit approximately 1,500 home runs during his career.  He was picked to the Greater Cincinnati All-Decade team of the seventies, and in 2000 was selected to the All-Century team.
