  • “Casey” Stengel Baseball Player and Manager 1890-1975
    Missouri Valley Special Collections: Biography Charles Dillon “Casey” Stengel Baseball Player and Manager 1890-1975 by David Conrads In a career that spanned six decades, Casey Stengel made his mark on baseball as a player, coach, manager, and all-around showman. Arguably the greatest manager in the history of the game, he set many records during his legendary stint with the New York Yankees in the 1950s. He is perhaps equally famous for his colorful personality, offbeat antics, and his homespun anecdotes, delivered in a personal language dubbed “Stengelese,” which was characterized by humor, practicality, and long-windedness. Charles Dillon Stengel was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri. He attended Woodland Grade School then switched to the Garfield Grammar School. A tough kid, with a powerful build, he was a great natural athlete and star of the Central High School sports teams. While still in school, he played for semi-professional baseball teams sponsored by the Armour Packing Company and the Parisian Cloak Company, as well as for the Kansas City Red Sox, a traveling semi-pro team. He quit high school in 1910, just short of graduating, to play baseball professionally with the Kansas City Blues, a minor-league team. Stengel made his major league debut in 1912 as an outfielder with the Brooklyn Dodgers. It was then that he acquired his nickname, which was inspired primarily by his hometown as well as by the popularity at the time of the poem “Casey at the Bat.” A decent, if not outstanding player, Stengel played for 14 years with five National League teams.

  • View Key Chapters of Casey's Life
    Proposal by Toni Mollett, [email protected]; (775) 323-6776 “There comes a time in every man’s life, and I’ve had plenty of them.” — Casey Stengel KEY CHAPTERS IN CASEY’S LIFE AT BAT, IN THE FIELD, THE DUGOUT, THE NATION’S HEART 1910-12: Born in 1890 in Kansas City, Missouri, Charles Dillon Stengel, nicknamed “Dutch,” excels in sports. His father is a successful insurance salesman and his son has a happy childhood, playing sandlot baseball and leading Central High School’s baseball team to the state championship. To save money for dental school, Stengel plays minor-league baseball in 1910 and 1911 as a left-handed throwing and batting outfielder, first with the Kansas City Blues of the American Association. At 5-foot-11 and 175 pounds, he is fast if not physically overpowering. A popular baseball poem at the time is “Casey At the Bat,” that, plus the initials of his hometown, eventually garner him a new moniker. Casey finds his courses at Western Dental College in Kansas City problematic with the dearth of left-handed instruments. The Brooklyn Robins (later the Dodgers) show him a different career path, drafting him and sending him to the Montgomery, Alabama, a club in the Southern Association. He develops a reputation for eccentricity. In the outfield one game, he hides in a shallow hole covered by a lid, and suddenly pops out in time to catch a fly ball. A decent batter and talented base stealer, Casey is called up by Brooklyn late in the season. In his first game, he smacks four singles and steals two bases.

  • A Remembrance of John Tortes Meyers (1880-1971) HENRY G
    Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology Vol. 24, No. 1, pp. 21-40 (2004) 21 The Catcher Was a Gahuilla: A Remembrance of John Tortes Meyers (1880-1971) HENRY G. KOERPER Dept. of Anthropology, Cypress College, Cypress, CA 90630 NATIVE American athletes achieved their greatest recognition in modern sports during the period from the turn of the century through the 1920s (Oxendine 1988). Among the notables were several Californians. For instance, Antonio Lubo, Elmer Busch, and Peter Calac all served as gridiron captains under Coach "Pop" Warner at Carlisle Indian Industrial School (Koerper 2000), where at various times they were teammates of the legendary Jim Thorpe (Peterson n.d.; Steckbeck 1951). Calac was Luiseno, Busch was Pomo, and Lubo was a Santa Rosa Mountain Cahuilla. Another athlete with ties to the Santa Rosa reservation, John Tortes Meyers (Fig. 1), developed into one of the best baseball catchers of his era. A roommate of Thorpe when the two played for the New York Nationals (Giants) (Fig. 2), then managed by John McGraw, "Chief" Meyers counted as battery mates at New York and elsewhere. Baseball Hall of Fame pitchers Christy Mathewson (see Robinson 1993), Rube Marquard (see Hynd 1996), and Walter "Big Train" Johnson (see Kavanagh 1995). For his many accomplishments, Meyers became the first Californian inducted into the American Indian Sports Hall of Fame, presently housed at Haskell Indian Nations University in Kansas. This biographical overview chronicles the life of this gifted and courageous athlete who tenaciously embraced his Indian identity while operating mostly in a white world.' autionary notes attend the childhood biography of John Tortes Meyers.

  • Henry Aaron, Barry Bonds, Joe Dimaggio, and Ted Williams Casey Stengel
    Quotations from: Henry Aaron, Barry Bonds, Joe DiMaggio, and Ted Williams Casey Stengel Chapter 15 The interesting facts for Chapter 15 focus on the quotations of the four players, mentioned most in this book. They are Henry Aaron, Barry Bonds, Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams. One way of getting to know these players as people with views on the times they lived in is through their quotations. We will now look at some quotations for each of these players. I have added a fifth person to this list, the famous manager, Casey Stengel (the Old Professor was his nickname). Any person with such a nickname must have had a lot to say. In fact, he had his own language called Stengellese. Ted Williams At the age of 42 in 1960 the owner of the Red Sox offered Williams the same $125,000 contract he had in 1959. Ted told the owner he did not earn the $125,000 in 1959 and did not deserve the $125,000 offered. He told the owner to make it $90,000. He then signed the contract. Can you imagine a player today negotiating his contract down? Ted Williams’s Quotations In losing the 1941 MVP Award to Joe DiMaggio, Williams stated, ”I didn’t feel cheated or robbed that year. I believe there isn’t a record in the books that will be tougher to break than Joe’s 56-game hitting streak. It may be the greatest batting achievement of all times.” "Joe DiMaggio was the greatest all-around player I ever saw.

Walzer The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2017 Under the Supervision of Professor Rachel Buff This dissertation examines the importance of white ethnicity, and especially Germanness, in the “civic branding” and urban restructuring efforts of city officials, civic boosters, and business leaders in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the mid-to-late twentieth century. Scholars have increasingly identified the significant roles the “revival” of European ethnic identities played in maintaining white racial privilege in response to the Civil Rights Movement since the 1960s.
