That was the key of the game. It gave us a big lift.
—Johnny Podres
He gave me a lot of confidence. I remember after the sixth game, Whitey Ford beat us and I said to Pee Wee Reese, ‘Don’t worry. I’ll shut them out.’ I was just kidding. But...
That was the best fastball I’ve ever thrown in my life. He swung and missed. I remember walking off the field, with everybody in Yankee Stadium standing up, and I said to myself there was...
A ground ball to Pee Wee, and they weren’t Bums anymore.
It feels great to have beaten the Yankees because, you know, I pitched against them four times in the World Series and beat them three times.
There was no pressure on me. I was 9-10 (during the season). Who expected me to beat the Yankees twice?
Not if I was pitching a shutout.
