One of the most endearing of American heroes, Casey Stengel guided the New York Yankees to ten pennants in twelve seasons.

We see Casey's playing career fall apart as he is traded, shunted to last-place teams, hampered by injuries, considered finished--until he bats a glorious home run in the 1923 World Series. ...

Here are the stories and gags, the Stengelian style, the full dimensions of the man.
