While I have several of Casey's 1950's issues, my best experience is a story:
Back in 1957, after my Jr yr in HS, 5 of us drove to Cleveland for a 4 game weekend series--Yankees @ Indians. We stayed downtown @ the Hotel Cleveland, where most visiting teams stayed. We got there early Fri afternoon and the lobby was a busy place as we checked in. We got on a crowded elevator for our rooms and as the operator (yes, they had elevator operators back then!) started to close the door he abruptly reopened them again & said "There's room for one more, Mr Stengel. We all pushed back & Casey ambled in, stood right tight in front of me & there I was, looking straight down on top of Casey's snow-white, balding head! Got my weekend off to a great start, rubbing shoulders w/ Casey Stengel!
