MY BIGGEST THRILL IN BASEBALL
by Jerry Coleman
"I believe my greatest thrill and also the most exciting game in which I've played came on the same day. The setting was the final game of the 1949 season, the Yankees playing the Red Sox with the pennant at stake.
We had a five-run lead, but the Red Sox kept pecking away until the tying run was at the plate. I can still see the third out, which was a pop-up and gave us the pennant."
-1955 Bowman No. 99
