"We didn't [refrigerate baseballs]. I think that story takes away from our pitchers. It was an awfully good staff, right up there with the '72 A's (Horlen's last big league team). I'll tell you why the baseballs seemed cold. They were stored in an underground basket near the umpire. We didn't have ballgirls. The umpire would press a button when he wanted a ball, and the basket would pop up. The ball would sometimes feel cool in your hand after being underground awhile." - Joe Horlen in Baseball Digest (Al Doyle, "'67 White Sox: They Had Pitching, But No Punch", May 1987)
