Casey Stengel (July 30th, 1890 – September 29th, 1975) was an American Major League Baseball right fielder and manager who was best remembered for his managerial accomplishments with the juggernaut New York Yankees of the 1950s and the bumbling, beloved New York Mets of the early ’60s. Nicknamed "The Ol' Perfessor", he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966.
History with the Macy's Parade[]
The Ol' Perfessor himself made his one-time appearance at the 1961 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Macy's own "Meet the Mets" float.
