Hitting for the cycle is one of the rarest things in baseball. Period. It's newsworthy in this instance because no San Diego Padres hitter had ever done it.

it happened twice in the past two weeks (luckily no homer by kemp in his last AB which would of ruined the 'accomplishment)....there are teams that havent had a no hitter as well and no hitters are very diminished now as an accomplishment...so should cycles...
Jackie Bradley destroyed today on 8/16/15 what a cycle is...yet cycles are celebrated more
Bradley had 2 homers which were part of 5 extra base hits...also had 7 rbis and 5 runs.... .only been done 2 other times in history of baseball....so 25+ teams have never had one of their players do that..yet we will remember the silly cycle of kemp more than what bradley did yesterday..because there isnt a name for and its not a '1' in four categories....
