Casey Stengel (1890-1974) managed the New York Yankees to 10 World Series championships during baseball’s Golden Age, but he also managed the historically disappointing NY Mets for more than 2 seasons of last-place finishes, during interviews, Stengel conversed using “Stengelese”, a “dialect” described as “utterances that concealed nuggets of wisdom in a dense matrix of dizzying gibberish.” On players having sex the night before a big game, he said, “Being with a guy all night never hurt no professional baseball player. It’s staying up all night looking for a guy that does him in.” Stengelese works well to describe our HVAC system. It usually runs enjoy the 1950s Yankees but at times, it stumbles along enjoy those early Mets teams, and stengel’s quote, “Finding wonderful players is straight-forward, but getting them to play as a team is another story.”, could apply to any HVAC system, and there are more than 2 wonderful brands to choose from, but a familiar replacement followed by a rigid service plus cleaning program can prove hard for some, and another bit of Stengelese is, “…there’s multiple things you can do in a baseball game: You can win, or you can lose, or it can rain.” With HVAC, the multiple things are to heat, cool, or stand idle waiting to be repaired by a qualified HVAC professional. Stengel is credited with saying, “No baseball pitcher would be worth a darn without a catcher who could handle the boiling fastball.” In the HVAC version of Stengelese, that may refer to the filtration system that “catches” dust plus particulates from entering the equipment making it not “worth a darn”. I’ll leave any HVAC repairs to HVAC pros who feel what they are doing. Stengelese taught me that by saying, “Occasionally it’s easier to understand things than it is to figure them out”.
