All awesome stuff, Marty! Is that you wearing a Brooklyn Game-used Uni? And if so, who's was it?

Still looking for Brooklyn cards of Casey
5 Attachment(s)
Pardon my hiatus.
And thanks for all the new additions: Marty in uniform, shades of PeeWee Reese! And Johnny Podres, our 1955 World Series hero! With his Game 7, 2-0 win! I meant to post these 1957? Photo-pack pics the morning I started driving south, but I forgot to add the title, so the post never happened. I got this photo-pack at the one game I attended, which I think is 1957. Doug Goodman: I saw my brother and showed him his 1956 WS ticket and scorecard along with your comments. He laughed and remembered back, and it was a good moment. I have a few more players I want to show, along with the 1957 final team to conclude. But I've realized that I have a big hole in my collection: No Casey Stengel! I guess that I'm going to have to get me two: one as a player when he first broke in, around 1912 with Brooklyn [4 hits if I remember correctly], and one when he broke in as a manager with one of the worst teams in the mid 1930's. Back later. |

Come on, Someone; Show a Brooklyn Casey Stengel Card!--
15 Attachment(s)
I checked it out last post; 1912 was his rookie year.
I have since continued to read the excellent bio by Wikipedia on Casey and recommend it to anyone interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casey_Stengel I may still have the book, Casey at the Bat, which I read as a boy, but I can't imagine that it captures Casey and his career better than this journalistic piece of a few thousand words. Myself, I well remember Casey as manager of the Mets, but that's another story. Hopefully, someone will post a card or two [the 1936 Pastel is memorable!], but the scan below from one of my Brooklyn books will have to do for now. I'm also going to include more scans of earlier cards of players that I missed [like the last of the legal spitballers, the great Burleigh Grimes] before I hasten to conclude. So, pardon the barrage of random scans. I do note though, that my Brooklyn collection has the greatest variety of different type baseball cards that I have, and I hope that the mix of many beautiful cards is worth viewing. |
