* Happy birthday, Casey Stengel

July 31, 2008

Sure, there have been plenty of biographies about the ol’ perfesser, but what about fictional accounts of the daffy Stengel? Try Troy Soos’ historical baseball fiction, Murder at Ebbets Field, one of several in a series of mysteries featuring utility journeyman player Mickey Rawlings. (My profile on Soos appeared in the Summer, 1998 issue of The Mystery Review.)

The Amazon Report on Casey Stengel:

Forging Genius: The Making of Casey Stengel

Casey at the Bat, The Story of My Life in Baseball

The Gospel According to Casey: Casey Stengel’s Inimitable, Instructional, Historical Baseball Book

Now wait a minute, Casey!
