I normally don’t read many nonfiction books but this one is an exception. Casey Stengel was a tough solid ball player but it was as a manager that he
truly excelled. It was with the NewYork Yankees and their 5 consecutive World Series cha,pionships that put him e record books as well as enshrinement into baseballs hall of fame in Cooperstown. Marty Appel, Yankees historian and former director of public relations, is an excellent writer and this is a wonderful narrative of a unique and well loved baseball character. ( )
