1960 Casey Stengel NY Yankees Managers Worn Uniform

Casey Stengel’s Legendary Yankees Uniform: A Piece of Baseball History

A Storied Legacy in Baseball

Casey Stengel, a name synonymous with baseball excellence, managed the New York Yankees from 1949 to 1960. During his tenure, he set a Major League record by clinching five consecutive World Championships in his first five years with the club. Stengel’s remarkable leadership led the Yankees to two more World Series victories and a total of ten American League Pennants over his 11-year managerial career. His contributions to the sport were immortalized with his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966, and his managerial number “37” has been retired by both the New York Mets and New York Yankees.

The Iconic Yankees Uniform

This extraordinary Yankees uniform, presented to us as manager worn, is a testament to Stengel’s enduring legacy. The front left tail features the Spalding manufacturer’s tag, accompanied by a box tag indicating the size “44.” Below, the year “60” is embroidered, marking the uniform’s historical significance. Inside the rear collar, a partially detached strip tag reads “Stengel,” adding a personal touch to this remarkable piece.

On the left chest, the iconic Yankees interlocking “NY” logo is prominently displayed, while the back showcases the player number “37” in navy blue felt. Notably, there is a number change/restoration on the back with period-appropriate felt, and a tear is visible next to the number “7.” This uniform is properly tagged and shows wear, further attesting to its authenticity and historical value.
