Book Synopsis
One of the most endearing of American heroes, Casey Stengel guided the New York Yankees to ten pennants in twelve seasons. In this book, the brilliant manager is stripped naked - the person underneath all the clowning, mugging, and double-talking. It also shows us Casey at twenty-two, famous from his very first day in the big leagues.
