Low and outside was the call ...
Hollydale the pitcher snatches up the resin bag
and paces around the mound
Obviously not happy with the call
Casey Stengel the manager is up on the top step of the dug out eyeing his pitcher
Cuppie Bradford is warming up in the pen
it's 3 and two bases loaded bottom of the ninth
Hollydale rubs up the ball then gets set on the mound
peering in he shakes his head
the catcher gives him a sign
Hollydale nods then works into his windup
The ball flashes to the plate
The stops mid flight 6 feet short
The batter swings wildly and misses
STRIKE THREE SCREAMS THE UMPIRE
as the ball hovers in the same spot
Speedy got him with his famous
Chikkin slider.....:)
Ability is the art of getting credit for all the home runs somebody else hits.

All right everyone, line up alphabetically according to your height.
Casey Stengel
Been in this game one-hundred years, but I see new ways to lose 'em I never knew existed before.
Casey Stengel
Being with a woman all night never hurt no professional baseball player. It's staying up all night looking for a woman that does him in.
Casey Stengel
Don't cut my throat, I may want to do that later myself.
Casey Stengel
Don't drink in the hotel bar, that's where I do my drinking.
Casey Stengel
Finding good players is easy. Getting them to play as a team is another story.
Casey Stengel
Good pitching will always stop good hitting and vice-versa.

I came in here and a fella asked me to have a drink. I said I don't drink. Then another fella said hear you and Joe DiMaggio aren't speaking and I said I'll take that drink.
Casey Stengel
I don't know if he throws a spitball but he sure spits on the ball.
Casey Stengel
I don't like them fellas who drive in two runs and let in three.
Casey Stengel
I feel greatly honored to have a ballpark named after me, especially since I've been thrown out of so many.
Casey Stengel
I got players with bad watches - they can't tell midnight from noon.
Casey Stengel
I was not successful as a ball player, as it was a game of skill.
Casey Stengel
I was such a dangerous hitter I even got intentional walks during batting practice.

If we're going to win the pennant, we've got to start thinking we're not as good as we think we are.
Casey Stengel
If you're playing baseball and thinking about managing, you're crazy. You'd be better off thinking about being an owner.
Casey Stengel
If you're so smart, let's see you get out of the Army.
Casey Stengel
It's wonderful to meet so many friends that I didn't used to like.
Casey Stengel
Managing is getting paid for home runs that someone else hits.
