Goose Goslin - "I truly loved those fastballs. Zip they'd come in, and whack .. right back out."

Al Bridwell on getting the hit that set off the whole "Merkle Boner" incident: " I wish I had never gotten that hit. I wish I'd struck out instead. If I had done that it would have spared Fred a lot of unfair humiliation. Yes, I wish I'd struck out. It would have been better all around."

For some reason a reporter asked the opposing pitcher before a World Series game how he would pitch to Gus Niarhos who was hardly a threat at the plate: "We'll probably throw him fastballs and bunch him towards the mound."
