What do you get when you take a good eye, some bat control, speed and power?
Well, if you add a little bit of luck and mix it all together, you get what Stephen Head of the Chicago (A) White Sox had today at U.S. Cellular Field. He put together quite a performance at the plate and came away with the cycle, helping his team clip Colorado 12-8 and give the fans a memory they will never forget.
"This is the most amazing feat I've ever witnessed at a ballgame!" exclaimed a longtime Chicago (A) fan. "I have probably been to several hundred games in my life and I've never seen anything like it."
For the day the White Sox first baseman had 4 hits in 5 at-bats with 6 RBI and 2 runs scored.
Head etched his name into the record books by hitting a single, a double, a triple and a homerun, all in the same game. When asked after the game how it felt to join such an exclusive group, Head replied, "It just feels great to help the team get the W."
S. Head struck out in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off R. Janssen in the 4th, walked in a run in the 6th, singled in the 8th, hit a two-run double in the 9th and hit a two-run triple in the 11th.
