New Dodger 2nd baseman Orlando ("O-Dog") Hudson hit for the cycle in today's game, becoming the second LA Dodger (and the first since Wed Parker in 1970) to hit for the cycle. A player is said to "hit for the cycle" in a game when he gets a single, double, triple, and homerun (in any order). There are fewer cycles in Major League history than no hitters, though this achievement is a bit of a curiosity, as of course one would rather have a second double instead of the single that would complete a cycle, etc.
By the way, you should read this book if you want to find out about chaotic cycling.
