Over the years, the New York Yankees have had some very successful managers that have led them to 27 World Championships. Five of those managers have also managed the New York Mets, but with far less success. Casey Stengel, Joe Torre, Yogi Berra, Dallas Green, and now as of yesterday Buck Showalter. Mets owner Steve Cohen announced the new Mets manager via his Twitter account. But strangely, all but one did not have any success with the Mets.
Casey Stengel, Yankees manager: 1949-60 – Mets manager: 1962-65
During his tenure, Casey Stengel was one of the most successful Yankee managers taking them to seven World Championships.
