Casey Stengel’s remarkable 54-year professional career included 14 years playing the outfield and 35 years managing in the major leagues. Always colorful and wildly popular, Stengel reached unparalleled success with the New York Yankees, winning 10 pennants and seven World Series titles from 1949 to 1960. An astute judge of talent who often platooned players and juggled his pitchers, he was equally admired for “Stengelese,” his own brand of double-talk, which made him one of the most quoted people in baseball history. “The Yankees don’t pay me to win every day – just two out of three,” he once declared.
Edward “Whitey” Ford was the big-game pitcher on the great New York Yankees teams of the 1950s and early-1960s. Catcher Elston Howard nicknamed Ford “The Chairman of the Board” for his ability to manage his fielders and control the game. Ford’s lifetime record of 236-106 gave him an astounding .690 winning percentage. The southpaw twice paced the American League in ERA and shutouts, also leading the league in wins three times. The 1961 A.L. Cy Young Award winner and 10-time All-Star still holds many World Series records, including 10 victories and 94 strikeouts, once pitching 33 consecutive scoreless innings in the Fall Classic.
