I don't believe a manager ever won a pennant. Casey Stengel won all those pennants with the Yankees. How many did he win with the Boston Braves and Mets?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Nobody ever won a pennant without a star shortstop.
The Yankees won the pennant, we went on to the World Series, 41 years after that in the city of Toronto. The great city of Toronto, and all the provinces in Canada, everybody reached out and they were excited because we won the first World Series ever, across the border.
In over 160 years of recorded baseball history, no team had ever won a championship this way.
Tom Seaver was let loose twice by the Mets and pitched a no-hitter for the Reds and won his 300th game for the White Sox, but he wears a Mets cap in the Hall of Fame as homage to the 1969 championship.
I always liked Casey Stengel as a manager because he seemed to have a grasp of so many things.
I am a Yankees fan. I should say - have been to more Yankees games than Mets games.
Casey knew his baseball. He only made it look like he was fooling around. He knew every move that was ever invented and some that we haven't even caught on to yet.
We should have won the pennant that year. It was the best club I was ever on.
I'm not thinking about records. Just winning the pennant would be exciting.
The team that wins two-thirds of its one run games usually wins the pennant.
