Show and/or tell of your Casey Stengel stuff

by a '51 Bowman, a '61 Scoops and finally settled on this Exhibits issue - my favorite of the bunch:

Here's mine, the second earliest card picturing Stengel after his T210. Casey is pictured just above his initials, lying on the ground........

Some wonderful and really rare cards there! Thanks for posting the '23-'24 Exhibit, Mark. That's a very difficult card to find, and I know how you love your portraits. But the '53 Bowman black and white, for me, really captures an entire era!

Regards,

Larry

and I go way back. We met back in '57.

when I was playing little league baseball in the early 60's, I---like a few of my buddies---decided to send letters to some of our favs.
It was in '62. I sent out numerous notes and received three responses:
one note from Gil Hodges who was convalescing after an illness; one note from another Met, the perfessor par excellence; and an autographed photo from Dodger Duke Snider. I loved them more than even my baseball cards at the time and still have all three items, beautifully framed. I have no recollection of who else I sent notes to---perhaps because they didn't answer me.
all the best,
barry

with Zach Wheat...love this shot and wonder what kind of stories they were sharing that day...

One of my treasured items.My father in 1965 finally took a vacation out to S.F. Knew next to nothing about baseball.But he did know the likeness of Stengel from the newspapers.He is in the looby of Jack Tarr Hotel which happened to be Mets hotel when they played on the coast.He sees Stengel come into the lobby in a.m. Father runs to service desk,buys a postcard of the hotel,approaches Stengel and asks for an autograph for "his son." Stengel says why sure.And what team does your son like? Phillies,was the reply.Stengel writes ,Join the Mets,david.Then coaches and players begin filtering in.Stengel starts handing pen and postcard to each of them .i end up with a postcard that has Berra,Spahn,Coleman,Bearnarth,etc. on it.Loved that postcard.

Wow.... nice story on the postcard. Any chance of a scan being posted?

Reminds me of my only trip to Dodger Stadium... the Phillies were in town. It was 1964, I think. I was a Cardinals fan. I didn't know much, but I thought I knew to cheer for the team in red, so I did. There weren't many Phillies fans at that game... the Phillies won. Those 60's Dodgers could play some ball.

a fairly obscure Casey Stengel card. Very hard to find him as a Philadelphia Phillie:

I will try and post a photo of this great signed Stengel signed postcard.I try not handling it too much.
