“The ultimate biography.” —The New York Times
As a player, Charles Dillon “Casey” Stengels contemporaries included Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, and Christy Mathewson. As a legendary manager, he formed indelible, complicated relationships with Yogi Berra, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, and Billy Martin. For more than five glorious decades, Stengel was the undisputed, quirky, hilarious, and beloved face of baseball—and along the way he revolutionized the role of manager.
But for a man who spent so much of his life in the limelight Stengel remains an enigma. Acclaimed New York Yankees historian and bestselling author Marty Appel digs into Casey Stengels quirks and foibles, unearthing a tremendous trove of baseball stories, perspective, and history. Weaving in never-before-published family documents, Appel creates a matchless and intimate portrait of a private man. Casey Stengel is a biography that will be treasured by fans of our national pastime for years to come.
