"The unsung star of the Series? That phrase could well apply to Roberto Clemente, the Pittsburgh right fielder with the rifle arm. [...] Scores of reporters surrounded pitchers ElRoy Face and Harvey Haddix, s well as shortstop and Captain Dick Groat and Manager Danny Murtaugh. Off to one side Clemente sat in front of his locker, alone. Yet here was the player whose bullet throwing arm had stopped the Yankees from taking an extra base on hits to his territory, a feat that contributed mightily to Pittsburgh's three victories. [...] Clemente put the fear into Yankee base runners in the very first Series game in Pittsburgh. In the second inning after Yogi Berra and Moose Skowron had singled with none out, he gathered in pinch hitter Dale Long's fly and just missed doubling Berra at second with a rifle peg. [...] In Sunday's fourth game his arm again played a vital role as the Bucs squared the series. In the seventh inning of Monday's game, fear of Clemente's arm played a key role in balking the Yankees. With one down Tony Kubek singled to right, but Kubek, after rounding the bag, hustled back to second [sic—see comment #2 below]. Had he been on third when McDougald forced Lopez, he would have scored. That would have made it 4-3 Pittsburgh and who knows what would have happened after that?"
