I don't get it, would you rather have a hitter hit a cycle? or hit a HR, 2 triples and a double?

what is the big deal about the cylcle? it's such arbitrary and stupid sports oddity.

if it's a close game obviously I'd prefer something better than the single but the cycle is just a fun odd rarity in baseball.

It's just one of those things that doesn't happen real often which makes it a bit more interesting. For example, people get geeked about inside the park home runs. It doesn't give you any more points than a regular home run so it's just an interesting rarity. Same for the cycle.

well to be fair, 4 homeruns in one game has already proven to generate more excitement than a cycle.

same thing as a dunk in basketball, it's worth the same as a layup
and a 99 yard touchdown is worth the same as a 1 yard touchdown
and a goal in hockey is not worth watching no matter what ;)

it's just kinda neat when it happens
