Tuesday 8/16/2003: Jose Vidro ropes four hits, completes cycle
CHICAGO (N) - Jose Vidro is a pretty good hitter, but his 4 hit performance seemed to surprise even himself considering that the hits added up to the cycle, one of the most difficult things to accomplish in baseball. A pitch from Julio Santana in the 1st inning left his bat for a RBI double. His 2nd hit, a three-run homerun off Julio Santana in the 5th inning, cleared the fence in left-center. A single in the 7th off Tim Spooneybarger accounted for his 3rd hit. A triple off Eddie Guardado in the 9th inning, accounted for his 4th hit. That drive completed the cycle, causing a smile on his face! Jose did drive in 4 while scoring one run on his own. His 4 hit performance increases his batting average to .297. He's now the 122nd player in league history to hit for the cycle! Larry Walker was the last player to hit for the cycle, doing it 8/3/2003.
