Casey Stengel was unique from any angle – there was nobody like Casey before him, certainly no one like him since, and no one defined baseball more than he did.  Yet for a man who was the face of America’s favorite pastime for decades, he still remains an enigma to the fans who love him.

As the historian of the NY Yankees, no one is more qualified than Marty Appel to write, CASEY STENGEL: Baseball’s Greatest Character (Doubleday, March 2017), the definitive biography of baseball’s greatest character.  Appel shows that Stengel literally lived baseball.  First he became the only person in history to play for all the New York Teams, including the Giants, Dodgers, Yankees, and Mets. Then as a manager, where he revolutionized the role while winning seven World Series Championships.  Meanwhile he won the love of fans and players alike with his fresh humor and perspective no matter where he played the game.  With new material and fresh reporting, Appel brings the Stengel era back to life with humor and poignancy.
