In my recent review of Joseph Durso’s classic biography of John J. McGraw, The Days of Mr. McGraw, I discussed his biography of one of the two most dominant managers in New York baseball history. Now, we’re going to consider his engaging look at the other one, Casey Stengel, and their combined importance and influence into the middle of the last century and slightly beyond. This is a centaur volume which includes the full text of The Days of Mr. McGraw as well as the complete Casey. The original standalone edition of the latter doesn’t seem to be available anymore except through some antiquarian, used or collector’s sites.
