Sam: Coach. Coach, let me talk to you here. Do you remember a double-header against Cleveland on a hot August day, 1974?
Coach: Yeah, I remember part of that. Yeah.
Sam: What part?
Coach: I remember hot.
Sam: Well, that's good. That's good. That's a beginning. Do you remember I was on the mound and Johnson had been thrown out of the game, and you were filling in as manager. It was the last inning. I had just walked. The base was loaded. Ah, gosh, who was up?
Coach: Spikes. Charlie Spikes.
Sam: Ah, that's it. Charlie Spikes. Anyway, you came out to the mound to talk to me because I was in a jam. I didn't have any good stuff left. I thought you were going to yank me but you didn't. Instead, you said that something I've never forgotten. Do you remember what you said?
Coach: What did I say?
Sam: You said, "Go get him."
Coach: I said that?
Sam: Yeah. And I got him, Coach. I got him.
Coach: Well, I was glad to be there, Sammy, to help out.
Sam: Well, I'm glad you were there, too, Coach. Because if you hadn't said that, my career may have ended that day, instead of when it did... a couple of weeks later.
Coach: Sam, what the hell are we talking about this now for?
Sam: Coach, go get him.
