On October 25, 1937, Casey Stengel is named the manager of the Boston Bees. Stengel replaced another Hall of Famer, Bill McKechnie, who guided the Bees to a fifth-place finish in 1937. Stengel managed Boston over the next six seasons, never finishing higher than fifth place.

1959 Topps #10, Mickey Mantle ⭐
This is the first Mickey Mantle card I bought when I got back into the hobby.
I remember how excited I was to land this card - the color and design are perfect for the "Commerce Comet".
Additionally, there is something special about a card that you know has been well loved, like this one.

1951 Bowman #1, Whitey Ford RC ⭐
On October 7, 1950, at Yankee Stadium, rookie pitcher Whitey Ford took the mound for the New York Yankees in Game 4 of the World Series. For a 21-year-old, Ford was unflappable and held the Philadelphia Phillies to just one unearned run over 8 2/3 innings. His stellar performance sealed the Yankees’ 5–2 victory and completed their sweep, launching Ford’s legendary Hall of Fame career.
Whitey Ford's season was so impressive that it earned him Card #1 in the 1951 Bowman Baseball Card set - even though he did not play a single game in 1951 due to his service in the U.S. Army. The back of this card may be the best ever on any baseball card.

1947-66 Exhibits, Larry "Yogi" Berra⭐️
On October 2, 1947, Yogi Berra hit the first pinch-hit home run in World Series history. The Yanks were playing the Dodgers and hit the HR off Ralph Branca.
The Yankees won the game 9-8.

Happy Thursday friends and card folk!🌞
Have a great day. 🤝

1937 R314, Wide Pen Premiums ⭐ Joe DiMaggio
Today's mail made me very happy.🙂
Of all Joe DiMaggio's early cards, this 1937 R314, this one is one of the most difficult to get - especially in this condition with phenomenal image registration and without creases, pinholes, tears and writing.
His portrait in this card is borderline "cartoonish".
This is a great card and compared to other PSA 1s this card is superior in nearly everyway.
The knock on this card is the corners and small paper loss on them as well as tape marks on the back (which is blank anyway). These flaws are attributed to this card being stored and taped in an album and they do not bother me in the least.
As you may know, I'm not a Yankees fan "per se" but I am a huge fan of Joe DiMaggio. He was "Joe Cool" long before America understood what it was to be "cool".
Joe DiMaggio embodies grace and greatness - an unmatched combination.
