Freddie Lindstrom has his second five-hit game of the season, hitting for the cycle, as the Giants defeat the Pirates, 13 – 10.
Detroit rookie righthander Vic Sorrell and the Yankees’ Waite Hoyt are locked in a 1 – 1 tie after 11. Twelve hits and 2 walks in the 12th score 11 New York runs in the biggest extra-inning storm ever.
On June 20, 1925, At Forbes Field, Max Carey collected five hits and becomes the first switch-hitter to hit for the cycle. The Pirate outfielder’s performance helps Pittsburgh to bash the Brooklyn Robbins, 21 – 5. Carey was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1961.
On July 3, 1922 Bob Meusel hits for the cycle for the second time in his career to pace the Yankees to a 12 – 1 whipping of the Athletics. Meusel and Babe Ruth go back-to-back in the 7th as Carl Mays cruises to his 22nd straight win over the Athletics. @ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF90YWdzIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsiYmVmb3JlIjoiTGVhcm4gTW9yZSBhYm91dCB0aGUgdGVhbXMsIHBsYXllcnMsIGJhbGwgcGFya3MgYW5kIGV2ZW50cyB0aGF0IGhhcHBlbmVkIG9uIHRoaXMgZGF0ZSBpbiBoaXN0b3J5IGp1c3QgY2xpY2sgdGhlIHRhZ3MhICAiLCJhZnRlciI6IiIsImxpbmtfdG9fdGVybV9wYWdlIjoib24iLCJzZXBhcmF0b3IiOiIgfCAiLCJjYXRlZ29yeV90eXBlIjoicG9zdF90YWcifX0=@
On June 27, 1922 White Sox catcher Ray Schalk hits for the cycle against the Tigers. He’s just the second major league catcher to cycle. Ray Schalk Hits Hard. Ty Cobb employed two hurlers and both found trouble in the same person. He was Mr. Schalk.. The little fellow slammed one over the fence on Howard Ehmke in the third after Mostil had…
On June 1, 1921 At the Polo Grounds Dave Bancroft became the ninth player in Giants franchise history to hit for the cycle. He accomplished the rare event just a season after teammate George Burns (who hit for the cycle on September 17, 1920) and a season before teammate Ross Youngs (April 29, 1922)….
For the first time in major league history, two players hit for the cycle on the same day when Tigers’ outfielder Bobby Veach, who goes 6-for-6, and Giants first baseman George Burns accomplish the unique feat. This rare event will not occur on the same day again until 2008 when Diamondbacks shortstop Stephen Drew and Mariners third baseman Adrian Beltre each collect a single, double, triple, and a home run in different games played on September 1.
1911 – Frank Schulte hits for the cycle to help the Cubs tip the Phils, 4 – 3. “Wildfire” will end the year as the first player ever to top the 20 mark in doubles, triples, homers, and stolen bases. Only Willie Mays in 1957 will match him this century; the feat will be matched twice in 2007, by Curtis Granderson and Jimmy Rollins.
On July 3, 1911 At Philadelphia, the A’s Frank Baker hits for the cycle in a 5 – 1 win over the Yankees in game two of a doubleheader. @ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF90YWdzIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsiYmVmb3JlIjoiTGVhcm4gTW9yZSBhYm91dCB0aGUgdGVhbXMsIHBsYXllcnMsIGJhbGwgcGFya3MgYW5kIGV2ZW50cyB0aGF0IGhhcHBlbmVkIG9uIHRoaXMgZGF0ZSBpbiBoaXN0b3J5IGp1c3QgY2xpY2sgdGhlIHRhZ3MhICAiLCJhZnRlciI6IiIsImxpbmtfdG9fdGVybV9wYWdlIjoib24iLCJzZXBhcmF0b3IiOiIgfCAiLCJjYXRlZ29yeV90eXBlIjoicG9zdF90YWcifX0=@
Bill Bradley hits for the cycle, accumulating 12 total bases in the Naps’ 12-2 rout of Washington at American League Park. Last month, the Cleveland third baseman collected three triples in a game to tie a still-standing AL record.
