Hitting For The Cycle – Part 3

In this, the shortest and last of my three-part series on hitting for the cycle, I want to recognize the four teammates on the Oakland Athletics whose combined efforts on July 28, 2011, resulted in a natural one. Here they are:

First, Hideki Matsui singled

Next, Josh Willingham doubled

David DeJesus tripled

Last, Conor Jackson hit a home run

I want to thank my friend and neighbor Julio for bringing this matter to my attention. However, Julio, this post is not for you. After all, the Athletics lost this game, and you are a winner. Your post will come down the line.

So let’s hear it for Hideki Matsui, Josh Willingham, David DeJesus and Conor Jackson. Gentlemen, this post is for you.
