"I'll guarantee that nobody, but nobody, has left this ballpark... and if anyone did manage to leave early, man, he's missin' ... the greatest! ... Two strikes and a ball... Mitchell, waiting, stands deep, feet close together... Larsen is ready, gets the sign... Two strikes, ball one, here comes the pitch... Strike three! A no-hitter, a perfect game for Don Larsen! Yogi Berra runs out there, he leaps on Larsen and he's swarmed by his teammates... Listen to this crowd roar!"

- Bob Wolff, radio broadcaster
