not so sure
can you picture a speed guy hitting home runs or a slow lumbering slugger legging out a triple?
you need to have multiple skills and talents to do all of this and in one game
that is what makes it rare

Cycles are more of a statistical oddity than anything else.1. The more I learn, the more convinced I am that many players are over-rated due to inflated stats from offensive home parks (and eras)

Easy to see why it's so rare, not that often with all those games that a player gets 4 hits in a game.
First you have to get at least 4 hits to have a chance at the cylcle. Get 2 hits of the same type and your chance of hitting for the cycle is even more remote.Last edited by SHOELESSJOE3; 07-02-2012, 03:47 PM.

Quick glance, only one day June 30.
Games played 16, only 3 players with at least 4 hits, in all those games.
All three playing for the Indians, two with 4 hits one with 5 hits. Obviously some very poor pitching on the other side in that game, the 15 other games, no player with 4 hits.
Start out with two hits of the same type, singles, doubles, triples or two home runs, now you have to get 5 hits in that game to make the cycle.
