Gary Ward (outfielder) - Highlight

Highlight

• On September 18, 1980, Ward become the sixth Twins player to hit for the cycle. The Twins lost 9–8 to the Milwaukee Brewers, wasting Ward's effort. On May 26, 2004, his son Daryle repeated the feat, guiding the Pirates' 11-8 victory over the Cardinals. Ward joined his father to become the first father-son combination in major league history to hit for the cycle.
• When Ward hit for the cycle that year, he did it in only the 14th game of his career, which still stands as the major league record for fewest games until hitting for the cycle. On May 13, 2007, while playing for the San Francisco Giants, Fred Lewis hit for the cycle in the 16th game of his major league career, narrowly missing Ward's mark.
