1946 Chesterfield Ad - Bill Dickey & Mel Ott This ad features managers Bill Dickey (Yankees) and Mel Ott (Giants). What’s interesting about it is that Dickey only managed the Yankees for 105 games in 1946. That ended up being the full extent of his managing experience, as he never skippered another MLB club again. So an ad featuring Dickey as manager is understandably pretty rare.
