Charles "Casey" Stengel, nicknamed "The Old Perfessor", was an American Major League Baseball outfielder and manager. Stengel was hired as the skipper of the Yankees in 1949. He and the Yankees proceeded to win record numbers of championships. Stengel became the only person to manage a team to five consecutive World Series championships (1949–1953). After the streak ended with the Yankees failing to win the American League pennant in 1954, Stengel and the Yanks continued their dominance, going on to win two more World Championships (1956 and 1958), and five more American League pennants (1955–1958, 1960).
He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966.
