You guys woke him up. Hope you’re happy.

two months pass...

Cycle! They're kind of gimmicky--one of the two Jays who've done it, either Gruber or someone else, pulled up at first base on a clear double to complete it--but cool nonetheless. Guessing he's one of the greatest hitters ever to pull it off, assuming that many of the greatest never did.

Well...Scanned the full list quickly, and let's say Top 35. Gehrig, Williams, DiMaggio, Musial, and Mangle all hit for the cycle, plus lots of other inner-circle guys. Ruth, Mays, and Aaron didn't. (Hank, that is--Aaron Hill did it twice.)

Clem: three jays have done it now. The Grubermeister, Jeff Frye (who did indeed pull up short on what could have been a 2nd double)(also Gruber was randomly at the game) and Cavan Biggio

Jeff Frye blocked me on Twitter for making fun of that, which was easily my second best baseball Twitter block. He’s a total prick on there, constantly complaining about younger players.

I'm looking at those Mangle posts trying to figure out what I'm missing...oops. Mickey Mantle and Billy Martin once blocked me at the doorway as I tried to get into Toots Shor's.

I hope this is a lot better researched than the last stat-meme I posted:
