"I just knew I hit it (a 435-foot home run hit in the final game at Tiger Stadium) well. I thought it was going to be a triple. I know triples better than I know the feel of home runs. I’ve always been a one-or-two (homer) guy. One or two a year. That didn’t bother me. As long as I didn’t end up with zero." - Luis Polonia in The Detroit News (Tom Gage, 09/29/1999)
