Aaron Hill becomes fourth player in MLB


Remember last Monday when Aaron Hill hit for the fifth cycle in the Arizona Diamondbacks' short 15-year history? Well, in their 9-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night at Miller Park, Hill went ahead and hit for the sixth cycle in franchise history, and he joined some pretty elite company in the process.By repeating his incredible achievement, Hill becomes the fourth player in MLB history to hit for two cycles in the same season.
John Reilly was the first all the way back in 1883, and is the only other player to hit two cycles within one calendar month (Sept. 12 and 19). Tip O'Neill then did it in 1887, with his cycles also coming just one week apart (April 30 and May 7). The most recent was Babe Herman in 1931 — or one Halley's Comet visit plus six years ago.
So yes, we're talking about a truly rare accomplishment here for Aaron Hill. And when you consider the rarity of the cycle (Hill's latest is the 294th) compared to the rarity of the no-hitter (272), and the short period time between the cycles, it could be considered the individual batting equivalent of Johnny Vander Meer's consecutive no-hitters back in 1938.Board ImageChina wholesale Toronto Blue Jays #26 adam lind black MLB JerseyI said could be. That would certainly make for a fun debate.As for Hill's path to history this time around. It began in the first inning with a double off Randy Wolf — ironically the 1,000th hit of Hill's career. He followed with a single in the third and a two-run homer in the fourth, also against Wolf. That set the stage for his history-making at-bat against Livan Hernandez in the sixth, but if you're to believe Hill, he didn't approach it any differently than he would a regular first inning at-bat.''You can't think about it,'' he said. ''You look for a ball up and hope things work out.''
Work out they did, as he got the elevated pitch he was hoping for and then dropped it between Nyjer Morgan and Norichika Aoki in right center field. As the ball scooted past them to the wall, Hill never broke stride as he raced around second, and then beat Rickie Weeks' relay throw with a head-first slide into third to once again etch his name in the history books.More about mlb jerseys,come here :[font=Times New Roman][color=#0000FF]cheap mlb jerseys cheap nike jerseys [/color][/font][font=Times New Roman][color=#0000FF]cheap nfl jerseys[/color][/font]

KIEV: Spain yesterday retained their European championship title in style, beating Italy 4-0 in the Ukrainian capital Kiev to become air max ltd negozio the first side to complete back-to-back wins in the competition's 52-year history.
Manchester City's David Silva opened the scoring in the 14th minute, heading home a pinpoint cross from Barcelona's shox r4 negozio Cesc Fabregas, after a fired-up Spain, earlier accused of playing a "boring" possession game, came out all guns blazing.
Jordi Alba made it two on 41 minutes after he ran onto a sublime through-ball from his new Barca team-mate Xavi Hernandez and slotted a left-foot shot past the advancing Gianluigi Buffon. Fernando Torres - who scored in Spain's 1-0 Euro 2008 final win against Germany four shox nz years ago - made it three with six minutes left while his Chelsea colleague Juan Mata made it four on 88 minutes.
"La Furia Roja" are now the only side to have won three consecutive major titles, with European wins either side of their World Cup victory in 2010. Tens of thousands of people young and old thronged the streets of Rome and Madrid r4 scarpe to watch the game on giant screens, with both historic capitals a sea of green, white and red Italian tricolors and red and yellow Spanish flags.
But it was Spanish fans who erupted at the final whistle in scenes of wild celebration that brought unbridled joy to a nation struggling with recession.
The final was the 31st match in three weeks of football nike shox r4 scarpe involving 16 teams in Poland and Ukraine, which despite misgivings before the start of the tournament, has generally been considered to have gone well.
Before the competition started, there were fears about the readiness of the eight match venues and other infrastructure as well as high travel and accommodation prices for fans, particularly in Ukraine.
Racism was also a worry mbt negozio, amid claims that far-right gangs were rife in football grounds in both countries, while Ukraine also faced a boycott from European nations over the alleged mistreatment of jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko.
