Default On this date back in 1918 :-)
Posted By: Neal

On this Date back in 1918, Casey Stengel after being traded by Brooklyn in the offseason, made his return to Ebbets Field a memorable one. In his first at-bat, Stengel called time,stepped out of the batter's box and doffed his cap. A bird flew out and the fans broke into laughter!
