Is this rare?

I don't post here much at all; this is only my third one. (I am a quiet man.) But this came up a couple days ago, and it boggled my mind. A Natural Hit for the Cycle: Out, Single, Double, Triple, Home Run--in ascending order. Took ten innings, but who's counting. Way to go, Sherry!

Interesting progression... never thought of including an out.

Thanks for sharing it.

Nice.

Hitting the cycle in order is what's pretty rare. Quick check tells me only 15 "natural" cycles have been hit. 339 total cycles have been hit. 10 have hit a reverse or "unnatural" cycle. 6 players have hit 3 cycles in their career. Trea Turner and Christian Yelich cornering the cycle market over the last 5 years with 3 each. And only 5 have done it twice in one season.

There is a "did you know "about natural cycles when saving games or advancing each day.
