Many people did view Casey as a clown, but he was, he was brilliant.
speaker_69HOST
Stengel was in fact a student of the game, having learned under the tutelage of the great John McGraw while playing for the New York Giants.
speaker_69HOST
But once Casey started managing in 1934, he struggled, first in Brooklyn with the Dodgers, then with Boston's National League team.
