Casey Stengel was not only one of the greatest showmen and characters in the history of baseball, he was also one of the most brilliant managers and teachers the game has even known. GOSPEL is a treatise on Stengel's "amazin" managerial skills. Chapters cover his views and strategies on managing, pitching, fielding, batting, and base running; his attitudes about ballplayer egos, on race, his all-time teams; and his surrealistic testimony before the US Senate in 1958. But as informative as the book is, it is far more funny. Included are dozens of stories about Stengel from his teammates, and dozens more by the Ol' Perfesser himself. And the 30-page "Discourse on Stengelese" is the biggest collection of language- and mind-bending Caseyisms ever assembled. For the unconverted and true believers alike, GOSPEL is a classic book about an American treasure.
