Kessinger was intentionally walked 18 times one season without hitting a home run.

I assume he was batting eighth in the order.

Thanks JK. Miss you man.

I remember Kessinger-Beckert-Williams-Santo-Banks like a sacred song and then the brutal memories of 1969 douche my brain like a nightmare. Memories of that black cat on the diamond and times when 5-cent Jewel-Osco Cubs photos as the real currency in Chicagoland. At least they won once in our lifetime?

Need the Cubbies tonight, Kev.

Hopefully, Bryant or Rizzo can channel Santo or Banks in the late innings at Wrigley.

Though neither Santo nor Banks ever recorded an RBI in a night game at the Friendly Confines.
