Their names stirred fond memories-Manager Casey Stengel, for twelve years the double-talking grand panjandrum of the Yankees, ex-Dodger Gil Hodges, still a hero in Flatbush, Pitcher Roger Craig, another well-remembered ex-resident of Ebbets Field. And they sure did try: in six of their 14 lonely victories, they came from behind to win; in 21 of their 37 defeats, they managed to get the tying run to bat in the last inning. Even in defeat, they had humor. "That feller can hit it to the centerfield wall," said Casey...

His timing lacked the elegance needed for Orsino's opening speech; however, he gained assurance with time, and achieved a certain nobility by the end.

...winking at a washing machine; another showed him bunting a baseball and selling beer with Miss Rheingold. That was too much for Frick, who has rules against uniformed ballplayers, even old ones, endorsing alcoholic beverages. He called Stengel on the carpet, added insult to injury by reminding him: "If Casey is going to teach bunting, he should be a little more careful to keep his eye on the ball. It's behind him in the picture...
