Hitting for the cycle

A natural cycle -- the cycle in order in four at bats -- has been accomplished less than a half dozen times in the history of Major League Baseball.

A natural cycle, where a player achieves a regular cycle but in a certain order. The other list on this node that has hundred of players is a list of players who have hit the cycle, not a natural cycle. Those players hit the cycle in any order, not the specific order neccessary for a natural cycle. The player must hit a single, a double, a triple, and a homerun in that order. The order is more commonly known as the "natural order." This feat has only been accomplished a dozen times, 6 times in each leauge.
