Casey Stengel
(b. July 30, 1890 - d. September 29, 1975)
A good outfielder, Stengel's two homers in the 1923 World Series helped the Giants beat the Yankees. As manager of Brooklyn and Boston, he earned a reputation as an entertaining, if not very effective, skipper. His creative use of the language, dubbed "Stengelese," made him a fan favorite. Named Yankee manager in 1949, "The Old Professor" won 10 pennants in 12 years, plus seven world championships. He had a career 1,905-1,842 record.

Year(s): 1961
ACC Set Designation:
Set Name: Nu-Card Scoops
Country: United States
Description: Very similar in style to their set of the year before, the Nu-Card Baseball Scoops were issued in a smaller 2-1/2" X 3-1/2" size, but still featured the mock newspaper card front. This 80-card set is numbered from 401 to 480, with numbers shown on both the card front and back. These cards, which commemorate great moments in individual players' careers, included only the headline and black and white photo on the fronts, with the descriptive story on the card backs. Cards are again printed in red and black.
