We jump way back to September 24, 1977 for Jack Brohamer‘s cycle. In this game, the Sox defeated the Mariners in Seattle by a score of 8-3. Brohamer batted seventh and went five for five with four RBI. Only two other batters hit cycles in 1977: Bob Watson of the Astros and John Mayberry of the Royals.
He started the cycle in style with a big three-run homer in the first. By the time the first inning was over, the Sox had five on the board. Brohammer’s next hit came in the third when he hit a double to center field. He followed that up with another double to right field. He scored a run when Bill Nahorodny hit a sac fly. Then, Brohammer earned another RBI after a single in sixth. All that was left was that dreaded triple, which he got as the lead-off batter in the ninth. Nahorodny knocked him in again on a single.
Brohammer spent two seasons with the White Sox, 1976 and 1977. In those two seasons, he hit .253/.337/.370 with nine home runs, five triples, and 22 doubles. During those seasons, he moved between second base and third base.
