"I guess you would say my greatest thrill was striking out three left-handed hitters in a row to save a ball game. We were in St. Louis, the old Sportsman's Park, the bases were loaded, we were leading 5-4 in the ninth inning.. And I faced three left-handers. I struck out Dixie Upright, Dick Kokos, and Vic Wertz in that order. By the way, Bill Veeck owned st. Louis and when I struck out Wertz, Veek jumped up - he was in the press box - he jumped up and kicked the chair with his good foot - you know he had an artificial leg. He kicked the chair with his good foot and broke his toe." - Sonny Dixon in Tales from Baseball's Golden Age (Gene Fehler, Sports Publishing, LLC., 07-21-2000, Page 43)
