Hoyt is asked to compare the Big Red Machine with the World Champion 1927 Yankees. His response: "I am also sorry to state it is my firm belief the '27 Yankees would have beaten the Reds four straight. I do not think there is the slightest comparison. I do not think the Reds could have beaten the '27 Pirates, whom we beat in four straight. This is not for publication as I am a close friend of the Reds-Rose, Bench, Morgan etc." Hoyt was the Reds' former announcer. He goes on to explain the current state of the '27 Yankees.
