From Don "Ears" Liddle, the lefty Leo Durocher brought in to get Vic Wertz, with two men on in the 8th inning of Game 1 in the 1954 World Series at the Polo Grounds, September 29, 1954.
After Wertz hit a ball 450-460 feet that Mays pulled down, Durocher leapt up and immediately took him out.
Liddle, on returning to the bench:
"I got my man."
Almost certainly apocryphal. But too good not to use.
