"They talk about the break in the second game when Gil McDougald grabbed that drive by Bill Mazeroski in the fourth. Mazeroski shouldn't have been trying to pull the ball. The Yankee infield was playing back. They were going to concede the run from third. If Bill hits to the right side of the infield and if he's safe, the score is 3-2. If he's thrown out, it's still 3-2 and the man on second goes to third. There's still only one out. The Yank infield comes in and Bob Friend hits for himself. That was the play."
