Cycle hitters: single double triple home run: in the same game

Baseball Digest, Nov, 2005

SINCE 1900, THE CYCLE (SINGLE, DOUBLE, TRIPLE HOME RUN IN ONE GAME) HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED 227 times in the major leagues by 204 different players. The feat has been achieved 111 times in the American League and 116 times in the National League. Bob Watson and John Olerud are the only players to hit for the cycle in both leagues. Watson did it for the Houston Astros in 1977 and the Boston Red Sox in 1979 and Olerud for the New York Mets in 1997 and Seattle Mariners in 2001. Only 20 players have hit for the cycle more than once, led by former outfielders Bob Meusel and Babe Herman who did it three times.

Here, listed by club, are players who have hit for the cycle in the majors (1900-August 28, 2005).
