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!

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).
