In one of the greatest moves in the history of the New York Yankees, they axed manager Bucky Harris in 1948 after a third place finish and replaced him with a controversial figure, Casey Stengel. Many had to feel like this was a bad move but Stengel would prove them all wrong by winning seven world series championships! The offered important photograph pictures Stengel with his new bosses of the Yankees George Weiss (general manager) and owners Del Webb and Dan Topping. Issued by the New York Daily News, this is a new discovery that is being offered here for the first time ever!
