Casey Stengel was not only one of the greatest showmen and characters in the history of baseball, he was also one of the most brilliant managers and teachers the game has even known. GOSPEL is a treatise on Stengel's "amazin" managerial skills. Chapters cover his views and strategies on managing, pitching, fielding, batting, and base running; his attitudes about ballplayer egos, on race, his all-time teams; and his surrealistic testimony before the US Senate in 1958. But as informative as the book is, it is far more funny. Included are dozens of stories about Stengel from his teammates, and dozens more by the Ol' Perfesser himself. And the 30-page "Discourse on Stengelese" is the biggest collection of language- and mind-bending Caseyisms ever assembled. For the unconverted and true believers alike, GOSPEL is a classic book about an American treasure.

Player Biography
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.
