Today's question: Name the last Phillie to hit for the cycle?
Answer: David Bell. June 28, 2004 against the Montreal Expos at Citizens Bank Park.
Bell was 3-for-3 with a single, a double, a home run and a walk entering the 7th inning. All he needed was a triple. Bell was not exactly a burner on the basepaths- he only tried to steal a base four times in his four years in Philadelphia- making a triple an especially tall task.
In the 7th inning, Bell slammed a ball to center field and legged out a three-bagger in his final at-bat to complete the cycle.
And how many triples did Bell have that season? Just that one.
