(1889 - 1975, manager) He managed the Yankees to ten pennants and seven championships, including a record five in a row from 1949 to 1953. The 'Old Perfessor' did not use a set lineup or pitching rotation, instead using a bewildering number of platoon arrangements. Somehow this did not undermine his defense, as Stengel's Yankees lead the league in double plays six times. Remembered as a player for his two game-winning home runs, one an inside-the-parker, against the Yankees in the 1923 World Series, off the field his vaudevillian personality involved him in many famous incidents. When in 1958 he was called in front of the Senate Subcommittee on Antitrust and Monopoly to testify on why baseball should be exempt from antitrust regulation, he testified with an hour's worth of classic 'Stengelese.' When the baffled politicians let Stengel go and called on Mickey Mantle to answer their questions, he replied, 'My views are about the same as Casey's.'
