August 30, 1965: The day that Casey Stengel retired

Tuesday, September 4, 2018 18:09

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Let’s remember Casey Stengel, who retired on this day in 1965.

Along the way, he managed the Brooklyn Dodgers (1934-1936), Boston Braves (1938-1943) and took over the New York Yankees in 1949 when he replaced the retiring Joe McCarthy,

Stengel was the first to platoon players, sitting right-handed hitters against right-handed pitchers and vice versa.

He won 1, 149 games (696 losses) over 12 seasons with the Yankees, including 10 AL pennants and seven World Series rings.

He was quite a character as well as an amazing manager.

I think that people were quick to say that he had a great team. However, he had a good sense for managing a pitching staff. He almost invented the platoon system and pitching situations, i.e. lefty pitching to lefty.

Casey was great.
