"When (Bill) Nicholson took a hefty swing and popped the ball straight up into the air in front of the mound, Werle breathed a sign of relief. As he was trained, Werle quickly called out the name of the fielder who should make the play. 'Eddie's got it! Eddie's got it!' he yelled. Catcher Eddie Fitzgerald, third baseman Eddie Bockman and first-baseman Eddie Stevens stopped in their tracks and looked on helplessly as the ball fell untouched to the ground." - Author John McCollister in Tales from the Pirates Dugout (Sports Publishing LLC, 03/17/2003, Page 184)
