Dodgers Name New Manager Stengel Once Played for Brooklyn Club
The Brooklyn Dodgers announced yesterday that they were replacing manager Max Carey with former Dodger outfield Casey Stengel. Stengel played for the Dodgers from 1912 to 1917. During that period, the team was mostly known as the Robins. The team went back to the previous name "Dodgers" only two years ago. Dodgers had been the team's name in the 1911 and 1912 campaigns as well. "Darned if I don't know a few things about baseball, and I think I can teach baseball," Stengel told reporters yesterday.
