Product Description

The Gospel According to Casey: Casey Stengel's Inimitable, Instructional, Historical, Baseball Book (Upper Deck Books)

Casey Stengel is unquestionably one of the great characters and showmen in the history of baseball. What is less well known about him is he was also one of the greatest strategists and managers the game has ever known.
No book demonstrates both sides of The Ol’ Perfessor’s genius better than The Gospel According to Casey. Chapters cover Stengel’s philosophies on batting, pitching, fielding, base running, and managing. “A Discourse on Stengelese” collects dozens of hilarious and sometime profound quotes. Also included are Casey’s views on ballplayer attitude and ego, his all-time favorite players, and the transcript of Stengel’s surrealistic testimony before congress.
Based on scores of interviews and dozens of sources, The Gospel is the most complete and accessible work on Casey Stengel ever written, not to mention the most fun.
