Berra said as much, regarding Stengel......that he must be losing that brilliant managing touch that got the Yankees 9
A.L. Championships (including 7 World Championships) prior to 1960.
Perhaps, Yogi wished he was behind the plate for that 7th game (he caught 3 of the games, while Ellie Howard caught
4 of them), for he would persuaded Casey to bring in Arroyo, or Duren, or even Ford.
In two prior 7-game World Series, Stengel had Allie Reynolds (1952) and Bob Turley (1958) pitch in 3 games.
