Description:
Caricature of Casey Stengel by artist Jack Rosen. The drawing is found on the reverse of a copy of the seating arrangement for <i>Sports Night,<i> National Cartoonist's Society, New York, New York, 1/25/72.
Jack Rosen (1914-1989) a long-time security employee for the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York, was also a renowned caricaturist. The prolific artist was recognized for his work documenting military personnel as well as politicians, athletes, and celebrities, many of whom autographed their likenesses.
Charles <i>Casey<i> Stengel (1890-1975) was a professional baseball player and manager.
Between 1912-1927, Stengel played outfield for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Philadelphia Phillies, New York Giants, and Boston Braves. With the Giants, he would play for two World Series championship teams (1921,1922.)
Stengel began his managerial career with the Dodgers (1934-1936) and the Braves (1938-1943,) before joining the New York Yankees in 1949.
During Stengel’s tenure in the Bronx, the Yank’s fielded such future Hall-of-Famers as Joe DiMaggio, Phil Rizzuto, Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra. The loquacious manager led his powerhouse teams to seven World Series Championships in nine years (1949–1953, 1956, 1958;) leaving the club in 1960 after a pair of disappointing campaigns.
In 1962, Stengel returned to New York, this time with the National League expansion franchise, the New York Mets, managing the fledgling team until 1965. The following year he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
