(2) K-3 Illustrated by Barry Blitt. Winter affectionately focuses on kooky Yankees manager Stengel, a mediocre player in his day (although he did best Babe Ruth in the 1923 World Series). Winter uses an old-timer's storytelling style, playing up Stengel's wackiness. Blitt's illustrations use caricature and perspective to reflect Stengel's larger-than-life persona. An author's note is appended; the lack of sources and further reading is the only weak spot. Glos.
