Casey Warned Spahn Of A Futile Baseball Future
MILWAUKEE AP Warren Spahn, left hander for the Braves, was told by Casey Stengel 16 years ago he would never be a good pitcher. Spahn recalled Stengel’s remark as he prepared to open the World Series against the Yankees. Stengel allegedly sent him to Hartford in Class A and once kept players late after losses to drill them. Fred Haney later named Spahn as the Game 1 starter, a 22-win pitcher this season.
