Casey Stengel

orig. Charles Dillon Stengel born July 30, 1891, Kansas City, Mo., U.S. died Sept. 29, 1975, Glendale, Calif. U.S. baseball player and manager. Stengel played outfield with the Brooklyn Dodgers (1912-17), Pittsburgh Pirates (1918-19), Philadelphia Phillies (1920-21), New York Giants (1921-23), and Boston Braves (1924-25). He became a coach and manager of the Dodgers and Braves but achieved his greatest success with the New York Yankees (1949-61), leading the team to 10 pennants (5 in consecutive years) and 7 World Series championships (5 in consecutive years) in 12 years. He later served as vice president and manager of the newly formed New York Mets (1962-65), a team that became noted for its dismal performance during these early years. Throughout his career Stengel was known for his showmanship and his idiosyncratic use and misuse of English, called "Stengelese" (for example, "I've always heard it couldn't be done, but sometimes it don't always work")

Sean O'Casey

orig. John Casey born March 30, 1880, Dublin, Ire. died Sept. 18, 1964, Torquay, Devon, Eng. Irish playwright. Born to a poor Protestant family, he educated himself and worked from age 14 at manual labour. He embraced the Irish nationalist cause, changed his name to its Irish form, and became active in the labour movement and its paramilitary Irish Citizen Army. By 1915 he had turned from politics to writing realistic tragicomedies about Dublin slum dwellers in war and revolution. The Abbey Theatre produced three of his earliest and best plays The Shadow of a Gunman (1923), Juno and the Paycock (1924), and The Plough and the Stars (1926) which caused riots by Irish patriots. When his antiwar play The Silver Tassie was rejected by the Abbey, O'Casey moved to England, where it was produced in 1929. His later plays include Red Roses for Me (1946); he also published a six-volume autobiography (1939-56)
