Chuck Dressen
Charles Walter Dressen (September 20, 1894〔Dressen's birthdate has been revised from 1898, as was commonly reported in ''The Sporting News' Baseball Register'' and ''Macmillan's Baseball Encyclopedia'', to 1894 by both Baseball Reference and Retrosheet.〕 – August 10, 1966), known as both "Chuck" and "Charlie," was an American third baseman, manager and coach in professional baseball during a career that lasted almost fifty years, and was best known as the manager of the powerful Brooklyn Dodgers of 1951–53. Indeed, Dressen's "schooling" of a young baseball writer is one of the most colorful themes in Roger Kahn's classic memoir, ''The Boys of Summer''.
==Pro football quarterback and big league third baseman==
Dressen was a veteran baseball man when he took the reins in Brooklyn after the season. Born in Decatur, Illinois, he threw and batted right-handed and was listed at tall and . Despite his small stature, Dressen also played professional football during his apprenticeship as a minor league baseball player. He was a quarterback for the Decatur Staleys (a forerunner of the Chicago Bears) in 1920 and the Racine Legion in 1922–23.
After he turned to baseball full-time in 1924, Dressen batted .346 in the top-level American Association, paving the way for his 646-game Major League career. Dressen played for the Cincinnati Reds from 1925–31, and was the club's starting third baseman from 1926–29. He also was a late-season utilityman for the New York Giants. All told, he batted .272 with 603 hits in the Majors.
Dressen began his managerial career in 1932 with the Nashville Vols of the Southern Association. He interrupted that assignment late in 1933 to fill in as an active player for the Giants during the pennant drive. Although he didn't play during the 1933 World Series, he helped the Giants win Game 4. With New York leading the game by a single run in the bottom of the 11th inning, the opposition Washington Senators loaded the bases with one out, and sent up rookie pinch hitter Cliff Bolton. On his own initiative, Dressen called time, ran from the dugout, and advised Giants' first baseman and player-manager Bill Terry how to pitch and defend Bolton, whom Dressen knew from managing against him in the Southern Association. Bolton promptly bounced into a double play and the New Yorkers won the game to take a 3–1 lead in the Series, which they ultimately won in five games. The incident stamped Dressen as a potential Major League Baseball manager.〔(The New York Times, August 11, 1966, quoted in thedeadballera.com )〕〔''The Biographical Dictionary of American Sports,'' page 411〕
