Hairston Becomes 10th Met Ever To Hit For Cycle
An article by Hojo's Mojo
Scott Hairston strokes a double in the sixth inning to become 10th player in Mets history to hit for cycle.
Mets outfielder Scott Hairston has just hit for the cycle tonight in Colorado. He is the 10th Mets player to record a cycle in team history and the first to accomplish the feat since Jose Reyes did it on June 21, 2006 against the Cincinnati Reds.
Hairston started things off with a single in the second inning, a home run in the fourth, a triple in the fifth inning and finally a double in the top of the sixth inning.
Congratulations to Scott!

And lost in the Hairston hitting for the cycle was the ugliest game I’ve watched in a very long time.
Really poor, boys.
But congrats to Scott.
Well, the last time a Met hit for the cycle the Mets loss but made the playoffs so there is that.
Congrats to Hairston on hitting for the cycle.
Seeing John Olerud on that list makes me wonder how many minutes it took him to leg out the triple. He was one of the slowest runners ever to wear a Mets uniform. (Mo Vaughn not withstanding.)
