month of june highlights had Santana's no hitter, Cain's perfect game, and absolutely nothing on either of Hill's cycles...good reporting Sportscenter. Is that channel really the only reason why I don't just ditch satellite TV...

Am I the only one who's kind of unmoved by a cycle? I mean, a four hit day is a great day, but the cycle is more oddity than achievement.

It shows great versatility. Not every player has the power to hit a HR, the speed to hit the triple, and the overall hitting prowess to get them plus the double and single all in one game.

AMERICAN TOUCHDOWN - dudes 30 and hes been an all-star once... can't be all that versatile Being an all star has nothing to do with versatility.

I think you make a good point about versatility, and for that reason, it's more impressive than somebody who picks up 10 bases with a two homers and a double. But . . . If you look at the list of 232 cycles, only 62 have been by HOFers. If the cycle really was an indicator of skill, and not just an oddity, wouldn't you expect the list of "cycle club" members to be much more impressive?

All-star game is a popularity contest. He played in Toronto, which is a small market, and AZ which gets overlooked by media all the time.

Baseball Reference says Babe Herman, John Reilly, and Bob Meusel tied at 3. Not trying to bust your balls, just tossing it out there.

If this was the red sox or Yankees it would be well covered. The classic national sports gaffe is when they refer to Arizona state as the wildcats

It happened 30 minutes ago, chill out

Its a 24 hour Sports news network and it happened way more than 30 minutes ago. regardless 30 minutes is hours for a 24 hour sports news network where they usually re-report the same thing every 15 minutes

Couldn't agree more. The country didnt even know who James Harden or Derrick Williams were until they got to the tournament. One espn broadcast I remember Paul Biancardi saying welcome Miles Simon MVP from the Arizona Cardinals
