Most Recent Cycle Hit For Each MLB Franchise (Updated For Trea Turner, April 25, 2017 )

Another day, another cycle hit at Coors!
OK, maybe Coors is designed for having guys hit for the Cycle. That isn’t to take away from Trea Turner’s remarkable 7 RBI night for the Nationals. It just seems like they come in bunches at Coors where the thin air allows more homers and the big dimensions to keep balls in the yard lead to triples.
Ah well, why rain on Trea’s parade?
