Nice Met tie in. I do miss Casey. He was the second most quotable Met

Yogi.

Excellent research! He was part of two of the NY Giant teams that played
the Babe Ruth Yankees (Actually the Giants and Yankees went head to head 3
years in a row, Giants 2 Yankees 1 in the first real Baseball Rivalry).
And despite his own reports and general thought, Stengle wasn't a bad
player at all. He played a very disiplined game straight through the
worse of the Dead Ball era and finished with a OPS over 120 as I recall.
And he played Center Field. Compare that with Carlos Beltran.
