DiMaggio did it twice¦so did Gehrig. For that matter Bob Meusel hit for the cycle three times in his career. Probably more than a hundred guys have had one of those days. Ted Williams¦? Only once in his glorious career did he collect a single double triple and a home run¦all in one game. But he did it¦to put him in the exclusive company of mighty batsmen like Fregosi and Dave Kingman. For Williams the grand event of hitting for the cycle came in the second game of a doubleheader against the Browns played July 21st 1946. (Ted got three hits in the first game as well.) The Red Sox won both ends of the twin bill and weve got a ticket stub from that Sunday doubleheader. Modest in appearance it provided pretty good seating in Fenways grandstand. We report that the ducat has mild creases at two corners and another very light crease that traverses. To its credit though it is clean as original and the corners are sharp. Ruth by the way never hit for the cycle “ though he managed to club 136 of them in his career good enough to wind up tied for 71st all time in that department.
