Nice story.....it reminds me of my "elevator story" back in 1990. I was at the "500 HR" show in Atlantic City and when I entered a jammed pack elevator, towering above the crowd was Ted Williams. I greeted him...."Hi Ted". With a nice smile, he returned the greeting. Ted got off at the next floor and several of the people in this elevator asked me if he was some kind of celebrity ? When I answered "Ted Williams", they were surprised. The thought occurred to me that 25 people in an elevator attending a BB card and celebrity show and not a single person in that elevator recognized Ted Willians......you figure it (I cannot). TED Z |

Not really a Casey Stengel item but here is a game ball from The Little World Series between The Toledo Mud Hens and The Buffalo Bisons in 1927. Casey managed the winning team Toledo Mud Hens.

Great items from a great figure of the game, guys! I'll shoot Al C. a PM about this thread and see if he can add anything -- he should still have a pretty cool group of Stengel pieces from the man's personal collection.

Your Williams story reminds of a time in Houston when I was the only one who spied (or even noticed) Willie Mays in a hotel lobby, so I felt compelled to approach him & ask for an auto as he left the front desk & headed for the elevator.
I did it descreetly so as not to call attention to him and he still bitched & moaned that someone recognized & bothered him, but I got the auto nonetheless!

I like them all... very nice red border up there, Cat.
I don't think there's a W514 yet, so here's one cut a bit close... ![]() And I can offer a 1943 Dodgers scorecard. ![]() Inside, where the game was scored, there are 7 autographs, all in pencil. 5 players, a coach, and a manager, all with the Boston Braves. The main reason I got the scorecard was because it was signed by Hugh Poland, a Kentucky fellow who caught a bit. He attended Western Kentucky University, and as I understand, he lettered in everything... baseball, football, basketball, track, wrestling... I stayed in a dorm named after him when I attended college there. The coach's signature is George Kelly, the Hall of Famer. And the manager, #32, was Casey Stengel. ![]() Great Stengel stuff, guy!!! I think the 3rd baseball book I read, as a kid, was Allen's Now Wait a Minute, Casey. I still have a copy on the bedroom bookshelf. Might be time to reread it. An entertaining book. |
