He played major league baseball from 937 to 945 as pitcher for the Boston Braves, Cincinnati Reds, and the New York Yankees, appeared in the 940 and 942 World Series, and was selected in 938 as an All-Star. Because he worked for his family's dairy farm in the offseason, he was known as "Milkman Jim" to his fans. Charles Dillon Stengel (The Old Perfessor) was born in Kansas City, MO and died in 975 in Glendale, CA. He played major league baseball from 92 to 925 as outfielder for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Brooklyn Superbas, Brooklyn Robins, Pittsburgh Pirates, Philadelphia Phillies, New York Giants and the Boston Braves, appeared in the 96, 922 and 923 World Series, and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 966. his major league career started, he acquired the nickname "Casey", which originally came from the initials of his hometown ("K. C."), which evolved into "Casey", influenced by the wide popularity of the poem Casey at the Bat. Stengel became better known for managing than for playing, having managed the 934-36 Brooklyn Dodgers, 938-43 Boston Braves, 949-60 New York Yankees, and the 962-65 New York Mets. Stengel is the only person to have worn the uniform (as player or manager) of all four Major League Baseball teams that played in New York City in the 20th century (while each team was in New York City): The New York Giants (as a player), the Brooklyn Dodgers (as both a player and a manager), the New York Yankees (as a manager), and the New York Mets (also as a manager). The Casey Stengel Plaza surrounding Shea Stadium is named after him, as is the New York City Transit's Casey Stengel Depot across the street from the stadium. Gilbert James McDougald was born in 928 in San Francisco, CA and died in 200 in Wall Township, NJ. He went to college at the University of San Francisco. He played major league baseball from 95 to 960 as infielder for the New York Yankees, appeared in the 95, 952, 953, 955, 956, 957, 958 and 960 World Series, and was selected 5 times as an All-Star. In 958, McDougald was given the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award, which is awarded annually by the Phi Delta Theta fraternity (to which Gehrig belonged) at Columbia University. McDougald is a former baseball coach at Fordham University. McDougald was struck in the left ear during batting practice by a ball hit by teammate Bob Cerv. Though initially believed to be a concussion (he missed only a few games), McDougald soon lost the hearing in his left ear and later also in his right. He retired in 960 at only age 32, though not directly because of his hearing loss. His hearing loss was somewhat restored by a cochlear implant he received during a surgery at the New York University Medical Center in 994. McDougald has since been a paid spokeperson for the manufacturer, Cochlear Americas, including benefits for hearing organizations and testimony before Congress. Alfred Manuel Martin was born in 928 in Berkeley, CA and died in 989 in Johnson City, NY. He played major league baseball from 950 to 96 as infielder for the New York Yankees, Kansas City Athletics, Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Indians, Cincinnati Reds, Milwaukee Braves and the Minnesota Twins, appeared in the 95, 952, 953, 955 and 956 World Series, and was selected in 956 as an All-Star. After retiring in 96, Martin worked as a scout for the Minnesota Twins from 962 to 964, and a Twins coach from 965 to May of 968. He then replaced Johnny Goryl as manager of the Denver Bears for the rest of 968, and the Minnesota Twins in 969. He then went on to manage the 969 Minnesota Twins, 97 to 973 Detroit Tigers, 973 to 975 Texas Rangers, 975 to 979 New York Yankees (including the 977 World Champion team), 980 to 982 Oakland Athletics, and the 983, 985 and 988 New York Yankees. Martin was killed in a car accident on Christmas 989. Jerry Dean Lumpe was born in 933 in Lincoln, MO and died in 204 in Springfield, MO.
