[[File:Casey-Stengel.jpg|thumb|Casey Stengel as manager of the New York Mets]] The phrase "Can't anybody here play this game?" is famously attributed to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casey_Stengel Casey Stengel], the manager of the New York Mets baseball team in the early 1960s. Stengel uttered this line out of frustration during a particularly dismal game where his team was making numerous errors and playing poorly. When people use this phrase, they typically mean that they are astonished or exasperated by the incompetence or lack of skill displayed by a group of individuals attempting to perform a task. It conveys a sense of disbelief or disappointment in the collective performance of a team or group. ==On X== {{#widget:Tweet|id=1529993749832404993}} {{#widget:Tweet|id=1252878404740767748}} {{#widget:Tweet|id=831358941225365504}} {{#widget:Tweet|id=1618347117277499392}} [[Category:Concepts]]
