1951 was a turbulent year in the Bronx for the New York Yankees. It was the hope and promise of a rookie by the name of Mickey Mantle… and the crumbling of a Yankee icon that wasn’t really the human being perceived by the outside world. Firmly embedded in the very middle of this uncomfortable changing of the guard… was the one and only Charles Dillon Stengel… known to the world as “Caseyâ€. And though the book’s cover photo is of the “The Mick†and “Dimagâ€â€¦ Casey gets as much if not more “book†time than the two aforementioned icons. It makes sense that Casey is center stage… since he was the manager that had to balance the crumbling demise of what was known as Joe DiMaggio… and at the same time manage and control the expectation of a raw young superstar in the making.The author does a good job of chronicling not only the statistical trail of this crossroad year of Yankee history… but also the psychological and mental aspects. Amazingly… the most impressive part of the book… is the balancing act… and onstage performance… of a heretofore caricature… of a rubber faced… wobbling… mangler… of the English language… “The Old Perfessor†himself… Casey Stengel. Casey is one part politician… one part… vaudeville act… one part… baseball strategist… and one part… (Which was surprising to me even after half-a-century of dedication to the love of baseball) disciplinarian. Also surprising… but not as much so… was what an unlovable… unsympathetic… individual… Joe DiMaggio was. In fact… after reading this book… I can now “answerâ€â€¦ without hesitation… the poetic… musical question asked by Paul Simon: “Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?â€â€¦The answer is… he got the hell out of New York… at the request of all his teammates! Here is one of the nice descriptions of his alienation from his teammates. “Tommy Henrich and DiMaggio had played side by side for 10 years, a decade of baseball shared. Each man deeply respected and admired the other’s skills on the ball field. Truth is, a harsh word never passed between the two. But Henrich could never remember sharing a meal with Joe.â€â€œJoe was extraordinarily self-conscious off. (The field) DiMaggio wasn’t the most articulate fella and he feared coming off as an uneducated rube.†There is a very nostalgic throw-back feel to the book as individuals always refer to people as being “swellâ€â€¦ and the other players are quite often referred to as “the fellasâ€â€¦ and the reporters warmly referred to as “the boysâ€. It’s almost like watching an old black and white Jimmy Stewart or Humphrey Bogart movie. The release date of this book seemed to change many times as I received numerous Emails from Amazon notifying me of such changes. It has been my experience that when this happens… more often than not… that foretells editing problems… and there were a number of typos and grammatical mistakes. This is a book that will be enjoyed by “old-school†baseball fans.
Author Andrew O'Toole has brought the 1951 season of the New York Yankees back to life when the final season of Joe DiMaggio overlapped with the rookie year of Mickey Mantle. Author O'Toole paints magnificent portraits of the reclusive DiMaggio, the much-heralded Mantle who hit moon shots from both sides of the plate, along with General Manager George Weiss, Manager Casey Stengel, and other members of the team such as Yogi Berra, Hank Bauer, Gil MacDougald, and others. The author does a wonderful job in presenting the tug-of-war between Weiss and Stengel as to what Mantle's immediate future should be; the minor leagues at Kansas City or with the parent Yankees.We have the conflict between Stengel and DiMaggio which each presented as nonexistent to reporters while having private thoughts about each other. Mantle's struggles that had him sent to the Yankees' Kansas City's minor league farm club led to his father's stern lecture that eventually got him on the road to success.The book concludes with coverage of the 1951 World Series between the Yankees and the New York Giants. The book contains no photos but Author O'Toole paints such vivid pictures throughout the book of the principal characters that the lack of photos went unnoticed by me. Forest have been felled on the printing of books on the New York Yankees but this one is a gem whether you are a Yankee fan or not. Buy the book. It is well worth it.
Very entertaining. Pretty much already knew of the story. The author did fill in some pieces of the story I hadn't known of. Would suggest book to any baseball fan. This bit of history is remarkable considering that two of the games greatest players were members of the same team for one special year!
If one wants a readable, accurate replay of the 1951 season, this is a good place to go.If the intent is to learn more about the relationship between Joe and Mickey, then it's not.The author's admitted sources are the already-published newspaper accounts of the beat writers and columnists of New York in 1951, and little if any new material will be found here. Casey should have gotten space in the title, since the book is as much about him as Joe and Mickey. That's not bad, but also not what I was expecting.It's a quick and somewhat unsatisfying read.
I am a Yankee fan and love to read about the history of that franchise. This was an in depth look at this unique year with a lot of good information about the principle players.
Interesting. Not a lot of new ground of great interest to me. Overall good tho..
Great historical read on the strait ed relationship ship of Yankee greats Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle in 1951 as their careers go in opposite directions.Like two ships passing in the night, neither is very aware or concerned about the other. The guy pulling the strings and deftly orchestrating the New York media is loquacious manger Casey Stengel.Great read (especially for ardent Yankee fans)!
By the title I thought there would be much info on the relationship between DiMaggio and Mantle, there was not. It was just a recap of the 1951 season with some background. Title was misleading. I was disappointed.
