Prelude : who was Casey? What was he?
Family and childhood : one very dead chicken
School days : "I'm Charley Stengel"
The minor leagues : a coffin in Kankakee
Moving on up : the Tabasco Kid's advice
Debut in Brooklyn : Stengel the phenom
Settling in : the good days and the bad
The Federal League War : a matter of money
Uncle Robby : who dropped the grapefruit?
The 1916 Pennant : Casey hits the big one
Moving on down : farewell to Brooklyn
After the war : a sparrow in his hat
The little Napoleon : McGraw of the Giants
The Polo Grounds : wake up, muscles!
Winning for McGraw : Casey comes through
The 1923 World Series : Stengel the hero
To Boston and points west : mud hen glory
The 1930s : "Is Brooklyn still in the league?"
Discharged again : cheers for a broken leg
Comeback : helping out Jolly Cholly
Oakland : it's nice to have a bridge around
The 1949 Yankees : biggest thrill of all
Taking command : it's Casey's team now
Growing your own : the "Instructual School"
Five flags and Mickey : the one disappointment
Becoming a legend : Stengel the public figure
Billy, Phil and Estes : "I was no doubt discharged"
Signs of disintegration : the long Yankee slump
The last World Series : a shortstop's throat
Out and in : goodbye Yankees, hello Mets
A way to retire : one broken hip
Do not go gentle : talking, talking, talking
