T206 Reference / Reflections.....Tuesday Nite Trivia
Hey guys,
You guessed the right guy.... CASEY STENGEL ....I knew you would. Casey hit the first home run in Ebbets Field (April 5, 1913). In the 1923 World Series vs the Yankees, Stengel’s inside-the-park HR in the ninth inning won Game One for McGraw’s Giants. This moment was immortalized, as it was the first HR in Yankee Stadium. WORLD SERIES BA 1916.... .364 1922.... .400 1923.... .417 ----------------------- Total......393 ------ -- TED Z T206 Reference . |

I thought Ruth hit the first home run in Yankee Stadium (4/18/1923). I think Stengel's was the first World Series home run in Yankee Stadium.

Frank....ole buddy,
You are very welcome. Casey Stengel fascinated me, when he became NY Yankees Manager in 1949. I was only 10 years old then. I could tell you many stories of how he led the Yankees to the five consecutive World Championships (1949 to 1953). Especially, when Johnny Mize single-handedly beat the Dodgers in the 1952 W.S. Furthermore, Don Larsen's PERFECT W.S. game in 1956. TED Z T206 Reference . Last edited by tedzan; 10-28-2023 at 07:08 PM. Reason: Corrected typo. |

SABR quote...... "Stengel’s inside-the-park home run in the ninth inning won Game One for McGraw’s Giants. The moment was immortalized by a Damon Runyon column which began “This is the way old Casey Stengel ran yesterday.” Two days later, Casey hit another home run in Game Three, giving the Giants a 1-0 victory."

I think we can all collectively agree that we need to preserve and carry on the grand legacy that Ted has left for us. The world has lost a heck of an individual.
