On July 15, 1960 Brooks Robinson hit for the cycle against the Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park. Brooks did this in front of 43,704 fans. Brooks went 5-5 leading the Orioles almost single handedly to a 5-2 victory. Brooks singled in the first. Brooks homered with bases empty in the 3rd inning. In the 5th inning he hit another single. In the 7th, he doubled. In the 9th, Baltimore led 3-2 and Brooks came to the plate with two men on and he hit his triple scoring two batters securing the win. Brooks ended the game with 5 hits, 1 run, and 3 RBIs. Brooks had a nice hitting streak going on with 9 straight games increasing his batting average from .264 to .296. Brooks was the first Oriole to hit for the cycle. Included today is a ticket stub from Brooks’ cycle game on July 15, 1960 and what I believe would be the program for the game, which is unscored.
