Joe Torre

JUNE 73, 1973 — A catcher and corner infielder, Joe Torre was not known as a speedy baserunner, and thus, it was an improbable performance when the former NL MVP Award winner hit for the cycle. “I didn’t think I’d ever hit for the cycle because I’m not a triples hitter,” Torre said. Joe was a single away from achieving history when he hit an RBI base knock to center field in the ninth inning.
