In 1923, the New York Giants captured the National League pennant, but would go on to lose in the World Series to the New York Yankees, four games to two. The team featured a young Casey Stengel, who would go on to become the legendary and charismatic manager of the New York Yankees, leading them to seven World Series titles in twelve years (1949 - 1960). Stengel was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966. Stengel received important mentorship from John McGraw, who managed the New York Giants for thirty years (1902-1932) and guided the Giants to three World Series titles (1905, 1921, 1922). Dave Bancroft and Travis Jackson, both elite shortstops, were inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1971 and 1982 respectively.
