There's something different about this shot of Casey. He looks level-headed and engaged, rather than enigmatic and inscrutable. He looks like a more gnomish version of Spencer Tracey.



It's a side of him that his players all insisted was there, but he didn't like to let the public see.



Or maybe he's just not drunk.



That said, I voted Willie.
