Casey Stengel's 1969 New York Mets World Series Ring Casey Stengel once quipped with unerring humility, "Managing is getting paid for home-runs someone else hits." One of the games great characters, he managed for twenty-five seasons in major league baseball from 1934 until 1965. Though Stengel won seven championships for the New York Yankees in a span of 10 years, he will forever be held in the hearts of Mets' fans for bringing respectability and a National League baseball team back to New York's Polo Grounds. The New York Mets were created in 1962 and needed an established face to give the franchise a sense of levity and to charm the New York media. Though his "Amazin' Mets" finished last in a 10-team league all four years of his tenure, Stengel remains today as one of the top personalities in club history, and is largely responsible for planting the seeds from which the Mets would ultimately reap glory. That glory came in 1969. Driven by a surprisingly dominant pitching from a young staff that included ace Tom Seaver, along with Jerry Koosman (17-9 record), Nolan Ryan and Tug McGraw, the Mets mounted a late season rally to claim first place and went on to a stunning sweep of a Braves team led by Hank Aaron and Phil Niekro. In the World Series, Baltimore won the opener, but the Mets won the next four to capture the first championship in Mets history. This is the finest symbol of Casey Stengel's significant contribution to the New York Mets franchise within his vast personal collection of career mementos. Manufactured by Jostens, Casey's 10k gold 1969 New York Mets World Series ring is in near perfect original condition with a diamond set into a blue stone on the face. Around the perimeter of the face reads, "New York Mets World Champions 1969." Design elements include a Shea Stadium relief on one side and Stengel's name bannered above the Mets logo with his title "VP" on the other side. His name is engraved inside the band in the form of his facsimile signature. Size 12. LOA from the Stengel family.
