This is kind of funny because if you look at his record, I think what actually happened is that Stengel put up with the lack of bat mobility in 1962 because he cracked 34 dingers but in ‘63 his power skipped town for good and at that point he was like “shape up or ship out”. Which I totally get; all those flaws sure look a lot more pronounced when the guy’s not dropping 30+ into the cheap seats a year.
