A fascinating juxtaposition of history and baseball: Charles Dillon Stengel, the legendary American manager, poses in Hyde Park, London (b/w photo) with a vintage 19th century view of Prager Straße in Karlsbad Kaarlovy Vary, Czech Republic, in the background. Stengel, known for managing the New York Giants in the 1920s and the New York Mets in the 1960s, shares a light moment with Swedish playwright August Strindberg in an earlier, undated image. In another photograph from the 1950s, Stengel is seen with baseball great Mickey Mantle during a spring training exhibition game with the New York Yankees. The connection between Stengel and music is also intriguing, as evidenced by his association with Mendelssohn and the Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi in these captivating images.
