Casey Stengel, who claims he got his nickname in his home town where they called him Strikeout or Home Run Casey, is one of baseball's most colorful managers. A witty, understanding manager, Casey has been piloting Boston since 1938. He had previously managed the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1934 through 1936, and coached the Dodgers in 1932 and 33. As a player, Casey was an outfielder and he will be remembered most for the two home runs he hit in the 1923 World Series for the Giants, each homer, one on the 10th of October, the other on the 12th, winning the ball game. His World Series batting mark - he played with Brooklyn in the 1916 series and with the Giants in 1922 and 23 - is a nifty .393.
