Players with at least 6 hits in a 9-inning game

Getting a hit in a Major League game is unquestionably one of the most difficult things to do in professional sports.

Now imagine trying to do that six times in a nine-inning game -- a task made all the more difficult because you're also dependent upon your teammates having big games so that you can get to the plate at least six times.

In August 2018, Christian Yelich went 6-for-6 in a 10-inning win over the Reds while also recording his first career cycle. The last player in the Major Leagues to hit for the cycle and get six hits? Ian Kinsler in 2009.

Here are the players in big league history to accomplish this remarkable feat since 1901, including one -- the Pirates' Rennie Stennett -- who collected seven hits in a game:
