A Few Other Notables
• Bisbee DH John Titus hit for the cycle in a playoff game against Prescott. His 1st hit, a solo homerun off Jake Thielman in the 1st inning, cleared the fence in left field. A single in the 3rd off Jake Thielman accounted for his 2nd hit. Number 3 in the 6th inning accounted for a double. Hit number 4 followed in the 8th inning, a triple. Titus became the 9th player in league history collect at least a single, double, triple and a homerun in a single game. Frank Chance cycled in July 1906

• Nogales 2B Jon Hummel and Tempe P Hi West are considered the top prospects in the AZL going into 1907 ... Neither have reached the Bigs yet...

• Two players had five hits in a game this season, Payson's Jimmy Burke and Nogales' Doc Nance...

And now, the 1906 Winter Meetings!
