"We gave 'em a little thrill. We hit a home run off each of their best pitchers, and the Pittsburgh club found out we was still around in the ninth inning. We ain't squealin' and cryin'. I thought our infield played as well as theirs, and you'd have to say our hittin' was fairly good out there. In fact we outhit 'em. Now when you come right down to what beat us, I'll say that man [Bill Virdon] made a helluva catch off Yogi Berra. Things would have been a lot different without it."
