 | Tuesday, September 10th, 2024: *Delahanty* Hits for the Cycle by the Numbers
Ed *Delahanty* of the New York (N) Mets had an amazing day at the plate today in a game against St. Louis. Fans at The New Polo Grounds were treated to a hitting spectacle as he hit for the cycle.
Yes -- the cycle -- one of baseball's rarest feats and spectator treats.
The New York (N) left fielder hit them all!
The single, double, triple and homerun came during his 5 at-bats as the Mets downed the Yankees 14-6.
Not many players can lay claim to hitting the cycle during their baseball careers, but Steve Link can proudly say he was one of them.
"Words can't describe the feeling I have," he said. "I would like to say it was skill, but I would be more inclined to say it was some luck, too. Triples are hard to come by."
*Delahanty* finished the day with 4 in 5 tries and raised his batting average a few points to .800. He also had 4 RBI and 2 runs scored.
E. *Delahanty* hit a two-run home run off R. Morgan in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, hit a two-run triple in the 7th and doubled in the 9th.
Thus far this year *Delahanty* is batting .390 with 7 home runs, 91 RBIs and 121 runs scored.
