"Casey is one of baseball's more colorful personalities, and also one of its ablest. In four years as manager of the New York Yankees, he has led them to four American League pennants and four World Series victories. He's a great storyteller and a keen student of the game.
His career in organized baseball goes back to 1910. He was an outfielder and saw service in the majors with Brooklyn, the Phillies, Pirates, Giants and Braves. He first managed in 1925 and later managed the Dodgers and Braves."

"No further tribute to Casey's managerial ability is necessary when the statistics are written. He has managed the New York Yankees for four years, and they have been World Champions four straight years.
He started playing baseball in 1910 and played with Brooklyn, Pittsburgh, the Phillies, Giants and Braves. He later managed the Dodgers and Braves.
A great wit."
