Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"There was a pop-up in the infield and (Murray) Dickson yelled for Eddie to take it. He hollered, 'Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!' Eddie Stevens was playing first for the Pirates and Eddie Bockman third and Eddie Fitz Gerald was catching. So you can guess what happened. None of them made the catch! - Harry Keck of the Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph (Baseball Digest, August 1958, 'Not Caught in the Ed-Tide', Page 58)
