I'll throw one more question out there about stadiums....
When Candlestick Park opened in 1960, which Willie hit the first Giant homer in their new home park? |

It must be a trick question, so Willie Kirkland.

My best baseball memories are of watching Casey's Yanks at old Old Yankee Stadium, meaning the pre-Steinbrenner fustercluck, back in the 1950s. I was a kid and he looked like he was older than sin; I never imagined that he had been young once and a ballplayer too. Supposedly Mickey Mantle was also surprised to learn he had played. "What do you think, I was born at 60?", Casey told him. Wonder if Mick ever saw his T210.
1923 NY Giants [am not 100% positive but I believe Casey is in second row second from left] Photo dated 1949 1951 Hollywood Stars scorecard Photo circa mid-1950s

I can't compete with everyone here on trivia but here is my pic of Casey Stengel. He's center, second row from top.
I just found this, having bought it on eBay about 5 years ago.

Casey Stengel
Quote:
David Great stuff....thanks for sharing it with us. My Stengel / Mantle story occurred when I was a teenager watching the US Senate hearings in Washington regarding Baseball. Casey "ran circles" around those phony politicians in their daily sessions of questioning him.....Casey was amazing. After days of Casey "taking them to school", the politicians called Mickey to the stand. And, Mickey simply said.... "I agree with everything Casey said" ! TED Z T206 Reference .

Tuesday nite TRIVIA.....Casey Stengel.....plus, show us some of Casey's cards
Not often seen1914 Casey Stengel collectible, this B18 flannel may be one of the earliest issues of Casey Stengel in a Major League uniform.
I don't think he is featured in the 1914 Cracker Jack set. B18 flannels were issued wrapped around Cigarette packs. Shown here is the Egyptienne brand which the B18's were associated with. TED Z T206 Reference . |
