"It was the kind of game you dream about, but never think will happen to you. I was 6-for-6 (on June 17, 1971), with five singles and a double, and I scored the winning run before a big crowd in our home ballpark. You can't hope to have a much more satisfying day than that." - Don Kessinger in The Game I'll Never Forget (Baseball Digest, September 1975)
