"Nobody in the world expected us to do as well as we did in 1962. Most of the experts figured that we would be lucky to win 50 or 60 games that year. I don't know what we did that year, but it was something right. In some cases guys had career years. In other cases guys began having, what would turn out to be, good careers. It was a case of having a good mix of players, the young with the veterans. I think the moment I'll never forget from that season was when we swept a doubleheader from the Washington Senators on the Fourth of July. When we flew home to L.A. that day we were all alone in first place. Who would have believed it?" - Ken McBride In Baseball Digest (November 1991, Randy Schultz, "Where Are They Now?")
