"Hit for the home run cycle"

[Neutral Corner]

That is, a solo HR, 2 run HR, a three run HR, and a grand slam in one game. I had never even heard of this until I saw this article:

As best I can tell, it has only happened once before. *correction* The article states that it has happened once before in the NCAA.

Horne's 'home run cycle' has yet to be replicated

I think I did this playing intellivision baseball circa 1983.

Must be something that only happens in Arkansas. The Horne cycle happened with the Double-A Arkansas Travelers in 1998. The only time it's ever happened in organized professional baseball.

She's listed on the roster as 6' 0". No weight given. She did it in four at bats. Had to be, because the game got mercy ruled.

Compelling coverage from the ADG on it.

Totally poetic coverage. Seven graphs?

And the story mentions she played at Arizona State a year ago. Why didn't she have to sit out?

I've mentioned this on the board before, but Tino Martinez had the chance to do it on April 2, 1997. I remember catching that game late and the announcers mentioning that he hit a three-run homer, a two-run homer and then a solo shot. And then in the ninth he came up with the bases loaded, and I suddenly realized he could "homer for the cycle." He ended up drawing a walk for another RBI.

That’s not a requirement in any sport but football, men’s and women’s basketball, or ice hockey, I believe.

Oregon had to have open tryouts because so many transferred in the fall — once in-year transfers became allowed — when Mike White left for Texas.
