Padres players missing the cycle by a double
Posted by Andy on July 22, 2007
I was just reading the AP recap of last night's Phillies-Padres game.
The very last line says:
"Bradley is the 302nd Padres player to miss the cycle by one hit and the 15th to miss by a double."
And I thought to myself...how interesting. Turns out that's easy to find with the PI Game Finder. Set the player's team to the Padres, set singles, triples, and HR all greater than or equal to 1, and doubles to zero, and you get the full list of 15:

It's amazing that no Padres player has ever hit for the cycle. The team they played last night, the Phils, have had three since 1957, found with a similar PI Game Finder search:
