It's time to introduce you all to Casey Pinto, the Bayous' current General Manager. His character profile now may be a bit longer on average than many of the ones that are already or will eventually be posted in this thread. But if so, then so be it, of course, folks. With no further ado, then, I will begin to introduce you all to Casey Pinto here.
Casey Pinto was born on November 12, 1909 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania to Edgar and the former Myra MacLeod as their only child. He grew up the son of a steel mill worker and a teacher who also were private detectives with police officers aplenty in their respective families. Meaning he was very well-acquainted with mysteries and law enforcement officials from a very young age, by the time he became a teenager.
His parents' work kept them both quite busy, but they still both spent as much of their free time with him as they could, and he generally appreciated that a great deal growing up in eastern Pennsylvania. He was a good, but not great, student while growing up, however. Not for lack of trying, but certain subjects like home economics, for instance, were often difficult for him due to lack of aptitude, for sure.
After high school, he went to Temple in pursuit of a business degree. While at Temple from 1928 to 1932, he eventually met his future wife, the former Sylvia Garrun. It was a whirlwind, but still not easy to achieve the desired results quickly, courtship for the couple, prior to their marriage in 1931. Sylvia had been hard to win the hand of for Casey, due to the competition for her hand and heart, and for other reasons as well. Eventually Sylvia was fed up with certain others triyng to dictate the course of her life to her, and gave an ultimatum to certain people, while also saying either they let her choose her future husband and all, or they'd never see her again if and whenever she possibly could prevent them from doing so. Furthermore, she said if she couldn't marry Casey, she'd never marry. They ultimately backed off, and never tested her patience again about certain matters related to her if they didn't absolutely have to.
Eventually, Casey and Sylvia moved with their then-three children to the New Orleans area of Louisiana, and found themselves encountering the Waldrip family led by Joe and Aurora. The two families became fairly close over the next several years, at least. And not long after the New Orleans Bayous professional baseball franchise was created, Casey was hired as its first historical General Manager, while still in his thirties.
Casey and Sylvia now llive just outside New Orleans' city limits with their children Emily, Trinity, Melanie, Lincoln, and Alexander. Triplets are on the way, but they don't know that yet. They know at least one child has been conceived, but don't know about the others yet, in any case. If they have at least one boy, they have ideas for possible names, but they don't have any girl names picked out yet. They're hoping for a boy, but expecting a girl, because a lot of girls have been commonly born in Sylvia's family in the past.
When not working, or spending time with close friends, family members, and/or associates, Casey spends a good deal of time camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, and boating. Or reading assorted novels, especially ones written in French, German, Italian, and Dutch, at least. He also reads the Bible daily almost immediately after he gets up in the morning, as well, without fail. And meditates constantly on whatever he reads from the time he gets up in the morning until he goes to bed every single night, no matter what. Even while attending to the needs that are present for him and/or others on each day of his life, whether big or small, for that matter.
He hopes to help others make the Bayous a real powerhouse for many years yet to come, but the upcoming season will only be his second overall season as a General Manager in his front office career, at least in terms of running part of a pro sports franchise. He hopes Joe gives him enough time to help build the Bayous into a great team in the future, of course.
Picture(s) and certain other information about him and/or others close to him in his life will be shared later as possible and all, I'm sure. Bobby Quaintance's profile is most likely the next personnel-related profile I'll share here in this thread. It should hopefully be posted very soon, I think. Please watch for it and all, then, everyone, as you like and can. That's all for now, it seems. CD out.
