Casey Stengel Triple-Signed Card (PSA)
Known as "The Ol' Perfessor," Charles Dillon "Casey" Stengel, was one of baseball's greatest characters. He was a Major League outfielder for five National League teams from 1912-1925: Brooklyn Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Philadelphia Phillies, New York Giants, and Boston Braves. He hit .284 lifetime, and he was a 2-time World Series Champion as a player. He managed in the minor leagues and for four Major League teams: Brooklyn Dodgers (1934-36); Boston Braves (1938-43); New York Yankees (1949-60); New York Mets (1962-65). The Hall of Fame manager was a 10-time pennant winner as a manager and a 7-time World Series winning skipper, all with the New York Yankees. When Stengel became the manager of the expansion Mets in 1962, his roster was primarily composed of players who were past their peak and thus available in the expansion draft. Stengel's gift of gab, his sense of humor, his friendship with sportswriters, and his unique style made the Mets fascinating, even though their Major League talent was minimal. The New York Times sportswriter Arthur Daley described Stengel's prime value as the Mets' inaugural skipper: "The smoke screen he generated to accompany the blast-off obscured the flaws and gave the Mets an acceptance and a following they could not have obtained without him." The Stengel "card" has a 3.5" diameter. The front of the card has Stengel's image and printing reads, "Elected to National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966." On the front of the card, Stengel inscribed and signed his name by using a ballpoint pen in blue ink to write, "To 'Mike' From Casey Stengel." Stengel also signed his name a second time on the front. The back of the card has a short Stengel biography, and Casey has inscribed and signed, in blue ink from a ballpoint pen, "Casey Stengel Hall of Fame N.Y. Mets." The Stengel writing, with his three (3) signatures, on the unusual card has been encapsulated and PSA/DNA certified as "AUTHENTIC AUTO." Casey Stengel remains one of baseball's most iconic characters, and this unorthodox card, signed not once but three times, seems only fitting for Charles Dillon Stengel, and a great remembrance for such a magnetic personage. The signed postcards come with a PSA LOA.
