Of course it wouldn't be.  I'm still sad he didn't get the cycle.  That's my conundrum.

I wish it would've been a single. 

I do too, but I'm glad he took the extra base when it was clear he could. I like legitimate cycles.

How much did Gunnars slugging go up today?  

[Gurgi]

The dugout hates Gunnar getting the double.  LOL

You want players who hustle like Gunnar it could be the difference between winning or losing a game in the postseason.

Hence my comment that I love it.

Should be easy to find out.  BB Reference shouldn't be updated but MLB.com should be.

484 on MLB.com

462 on Baseball reference.

Unlike Ricky Davis shooting on his own basket to get a triple double.

 

Haha, he was clown.  In the NBA. I think he was 1 rebound from a triple double at the end of the game, so he shot the ball against his team's own rim purposely missing so he could get the rebound and the triple double.  Stern and the NBA over turned the rebound after the game due to how he got it and thus his triple double was nullified,  That's is in stark contrast to Gunnar here.

I don't recall seeing a MLB player ever dog it for a cycle.

I don't think it would go over.

Nice play by Vespi......and I got to say he has Thor like hair.  LOL

The A’s are such a poverty franchise that their retired numbers are displayed on the covered seats in the upper deck.

I've seen it done, not in a full dogging mode, but one where they could have gotten to second.

Will the Os pitch McCann for the ninth?
