Random cycle quiz
According to my sources, only two players since 1900 have hit for the cycle three times in their MLB careers. Can you name them? Neither is in the Hall of Fame, at least not yet.
One of them did it twice for his current club, and the third time it was against his current club. That should be enough of a clue. The other was A California native known for a great throwing arm. He is often considered part of one of the greatest outfields ever, but according to the current metrics, he was a below average player for his time. He was involved in an auto accident that killed a major league player but he escaped uninjured. His brother was a similar player except for the arm, and they wound up with career batting averages one point apart. The prize is.... nothing! Last edited by timn1; 06-07-2018 at 09:53 PM.

Yo Adrian
Beltre seems right for the first guy.
I cannot think hard enough to determine the second...but I am intrigued by the auto accident clue...some one must know...

There are three since 1900 and two of them have been named, I cheated and looked it up. One of them did it in the same stadium all three times while playing for two different teams.

Beltre is correct
And oops, I missed one ☝️ that’ll teach me to create quizzes late at night.
I missed Babe Herman, so you brainiacs have gotten two of them. For the first guy to do it, I have given the non obvious clues I can think of. 1. Great throwing arm 2. Brother who played the same position and has similar career stats This might help. He played against his brother in three World Series. Tim
