We continue to review the “Baseball bookshelf 2017” series.

As for New York teams, “Casey Stengel” by Marty Appel, is the ultimate biography: Stengel not only played for the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants, he managed the Dodgers before steering the New York Yankees to their greatest run of dominance and became the first manager of the New York Mets.

Paul Dickson’s “Leo Durocher” chronicles the adventures of Leo the Lip, the colorful player (briefly for the Yankees, later the Dodgers) and manager (for the Dodgers, Giants and other clubs) who stayed in the sports pages for more than 40 years.

Read more about new baseball books in our next publications.
