Though slightly more common than no-hitters, cycles do not come around all that often.
All-time great hitters like Willie Mays and Pete Rose never accomplished the feat. On the other hand, Diamondbacks second baseman Aaron Hill hit for the cycle twice in 2012 alone. It's hit or miss, dependent on a player exploding on one particular day.
Orioles designated hitter Gunnar Henderson had almost all the ingredients for a cycle against the Athletics Sunday, doubling, tripling and homering as Baltimore dominated Oakland.
