[0:00] Hello?
[0:07] Danny, I just want you to know that I saw the game on television, and you can be mighty proud of the Pirates.
[0:13] You beat a great team, and yours was a great team.
[0:16] And I must say, the way you sat in that dugout without ever being flappable, that's really something.
[0:24] That's right.
[0:24] Well, I know that, of course...
[0:26] Clemente, of course, was fantastic and blast, but really with a team effort, the fantastic defense you had, I thought, was really outstanding.
[0:35] That second baseman, you know, they said he couldn't field, and I didn't see him miss a chance the whole series.
[0:41] Well, I know all the press has already talked to you.
[0:43] I just wanted you to know it's a great effort, and you can be mighty proud of it.
[0:48] Yep, yep.
[0:50] I must say, I was hoping I'd get out there, but I'm a little busy right now, but I caught most of the game on TV.
[0:58] Right.
[0:58] I bet Pittsburgh tears the town up when you get back.
[1:02] You bet.
[1:02] Good luck.
[1:03] Bye.
