Baseball's Opening Day

Casey Stengel was once asked about how he could manage a baseball team (The Mets) at such an advanced age. He said, "The trick is growing up but not growing old." I might also he not giving up because he managed awful teams which lost 120 games in their inaugural season. I believed he practiced what he preached and also lived by another quote attributed to him when asked about leadership. "The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided." There will only be one Casey Stengel and all the other colorful people who come along after will be compared to him.
