Drysdale was away from the team for some reason one night, and got a call from a clubhouse guy saying "Did you hear? Sandy pitched a no-hitter!" Drysdale's response was "Did we win?"
There is a similar story about the '60s Mets, where someone called the newspaper to get the result of the Mets game before the paper was out. He was told they scored 15 (or some other high number). Well. "Did they win?"
