The Cycle

tim_uwrf · 08-10-2004, 09:51 PM

I'm sure most people don't keep track of this, but I just noticed that in the league that I'm playing out ever game, I have had NINE (9)!!!!!!!! cycles in the league and two* on the same day. Whats the most cycles other people have had in one year??

Brian Daubach (9/23/2004)
Bernie Williams (9/14/2004)
Alex Rodriguez (9/12/2004)
Magglio Ordonez (8/15/2004)
Mark Kotsay (5/14/2004)
Trot Nixon (4/30/2004)

I've seen 3 or 4 in a year, too high I would say.

tim_uwrf · 08-10-2004, 10:07 PM

I agree...not that it matters anymore

Yeah same here, looking to upgrade and soon.

I don't think I will get OOTP6, unless I stumble upon a free version - and by free version, I don't mean stealing or taking a license by someone. I mean if I were walking down there street and there were the license writen on the sidewalk.

LOL. That's how I felt for a while but I'm wanting to upgrade just for the abilty to turn off star ratings.

I believe I had 8 in 1930 in my historical career league

HFTC has had back to back years now with 5 cycles (our current high). Although we are almost half way through our current season and we've had only one this season.

The MLB average since the last expansion is something like 3.33 or 3.66 per year (can't remember atm) and it was trending up. Our league was dead on the average until last season when we got five bumped us up a tad. Looks like this season may be bumping our average back down.

That is unbelievable. Almost three cycle's a year!! If my memory serves me correct there has been one this year, has there not??

My how soon we forget.

The MLB already has 4 cycles this year all in the senior circuit.

David Bell
Chad Moeller
Eric Valent
Daryl Ward

Ward, became the first father-son combo to cycle in the MLB.

Agreed. I thought they were more rare than that. I guess eight isn't all that many then.

A lot of folks think historically when considering cycles, but you have to consider and look at the huge increase in total number of games that are being played now with 30 teams versus many less teams in past points of history. That alone will help bump up the average number of cycles per year.
