Lou: "Even though a small portion of our season and many crappy games have fallen or may fall into the loss column and the odious Cardinals' lead, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in Pittsburgh, we shall fight in Milwaukee, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in Saint Louis, we shall defend our central division championship, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the pitcher's mound, we shall fight at the plate, we shall fight in left field and on addison street, we shall fight in the bleachers; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Team or a large part of it were starving for talent, then our Farm Clubs from sea to sea, armed and guarded by Jim Hendry, would bring up talented kids to carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the Team Purse, with all its power and might, fueled by the incredible sales of Old Style, would be opened for Free Agents to rescue the Team and liberate the Cash of the Playoff Fans..."
