"Bill McKechnie, manager of the Pirates the last time they won a World Series, in 1925, who is living in retirement in Florida, got a big bang out of the All-Star Game. Told he's looking remarkably fit for a man in his 70s, he quipped:
'I'm just waiting for the third big league to get started. I have it all figured out to do a comeback. Leo Durocher, Jimmie Dykes and I will come back together to play third base- three innings each.' "
-Harry Keck, Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph (Baseball Digest, September 1959)
