___________________
Nicknamed "The Old Perfessor", Stengel was an American Major League Baseball outfielder and manager. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966.
Although his baseball career spanned a number of teams and cities, he is primarily associated with clubs in New York City. Between playing and managing, he is the only man to have worn all four of New York's major league clubs' uniforms.
He was the first of four men (through the 2010 season) to manage both the New York Yankees and New York Mets; Yogi Berra, Dallas Green, and Joe Torre are the others. Like Torre, he also managed the Braves and the Dodgers. He ended his baseball career as the beloved manager for the then expansion New York Mets, which won over the hearts of New York due to their "lovable loser" image and the unique character of their veteran leader.
His number has been retired by both the Yankees and the Mets.
