A Cardinals prospect hit for a home run cycle and baseball fans rightfully couldn’t believe it

Cardinals Baseball

By now we’ve all seen a baseball player hit for a cycle. You know, when they get a single, a double, a triple, and a home run all in the same game. It doesn’t happen all that often because it’s very tough to do so when it does happen it’s a pretty special thing.

You know what’s even more special than a regular cycle, though? A home run cycle. That’s when someone hits a solo homer, a two-run homer, a three-run homer, and a grand slam all in the same game. I didn’t know that even existed but it does and somebody did that last night.

I’m serious, it really happened. St. Louis Cardinals prospect Chandler Redmond pulled it off and I’m in absolute awe:

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Redmond said after: “It’s unbelievable. I don’t even know what words to use to describe the feelings right now.”

I’m right there with you, dude.

He added, via MLB.com:

“So after I hit the grand slam, I had a little thought creep into my mind about maybe the cycle. But then I brushed it off real quick. I was like, ‘Come on, this was only my second time with a multihomer game in pro ball,'” Redmond said. “But then I go up there and hit the solo shot and I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, I can do it.’ So then walking up for that last at-bat and seeing two guys on, I’m thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, everything is lining up, you can do this. So just stay calm and stay within yourself, but if you get a chance to get a ball to hammer, you better not miss it.'”

I’m in absolute awe.

Sourdough and submission in the name of God: How tradwife content fuses femininity with anti-feminist ideas
When people think about online misogyny, they probably envision forums and video game chat rooms filled with young men using lewd language, promoting sexist stereotypes and longing for the good old days when women “knew” their place. Arguably the most popular anti-feminist content today, though, is produced by women: tradwives.
