Conrie Mack once said adinir- ingly cf Casey: "l nover saw a mani who juggied his lineup so much and pl-ayed se mrany hunches se -uccessfully." Here is an exam-rple of Stenige- lose when Casey, talking about four different players, expiained a Yankee victery in the 1952 Worid Series: "That young feller Tom Gor- mnan) s fast and ho has Iow- breaking stuif. Maybe he crossed up niy catcher 'and maybe hne didn't. But he's tough to handie and he's inexperienced. Thon I1 think about my other young toi- ler (Eddie Lopat) who's been through the mrill] nd ,went rat- tle easy.
