During his 12 years with the Yankees, he led the group to 10 American League pennants (5 of them in consecutive years) and to 7 World Series championships (1949–53, 1956, and 1958). He retired after the 1960 season however returned two years later to handle the New York Mets, an growth group that grew to become often called the “Lovable Losers.” Under Stengel, the Mets misplaced greater than 400 video games earlier than he retired in 1965. Thereafter he grew to become vice chairman of the Mets.
