"I didn't throw a curve all night," he revealed. "I could hear Gene Mauch (Philly manager) yelling from the dugout 'You'll never make it Nottebart, you'll never make it' and that seemed to give me an extra push," Nottebart said. - Sportswriter Olen Clements in the Houston Chronicle (05/17/1963) |

Fred Schwed, Jr., in How to Watch a Baseball Game (1957) wrote our favorite baseball box score quote, "The baseball box score is the pithiest form of written communication in America today. It is abbreviated history. It is two or three hours (the box score even gives that item to the minute) of complex activity, virtually inscribed on the head of a pin, yet no knowing reader suffers from eyestrain."
