Judge Dred (Fred)John,
Mike Cameron (a former Met) almost hit for the cycle this year. He had the 2B, 3B and HR out of the way. The Pads were comfortably in the lead. In what was his final at bat for the game (8th inning) he had a 3-0 pitch (with a runner on base) and he took the pitch rather than swinging. The count went to 3-1. I think he walked on the following pitch. Talk about old school. He didn't want to go for the single and show up the other team because the Pads were out front with a large lead. That's about as close as any Padre has come to the cycle.
