OT Casey Stengel's final game? (Call this "Casey's Last Stand")

Posted By: Kevin Cummings

From ESPN Classic biography: "On July 24, 1965, Stengel suffered a fractured hip in a fall and put away his uniform. Five weeks later, the 75-year-old Stengel officially retired..."

From Wikipedia: "Stengel's retirement, announced on August 30, 1965, followed a fall at Shea Stadium, in which he broke his hip."

From Baseballlibrary.com: "In July of 1965, leaving a party at Toots Shor's, Stengel fell and broke his hip. It was impossible to manage anymore, and in August, out of the hospital and leaning on a cane, he made his formal farewells."

edited to add Toots Shor reference
