"The Yankees mystique had a long history. Pitcher Waite Hoyt, after he was traded to the National League in the 1930s, was enduring a number of barbs from the cocky Chicago Cubs. 'If you guys don't shut up,' he retorted, 'I'll put on my old Yankee uniform and scare you to death.'" - Author William J. Ryczek in The Yankees in the Early 1960s (McFarland Publishing, 09/06/2007, Page 123)
