The big buzz in the baseball world is about Steve Link's performance last night against New York. Link had 4 hits en route to hitting for the cycle.

"It was one of those games you dream about," Link told the press. "I never expected to do something like this when I showed up at the park today."

Another quote-based story...

Amazing amazing amazing!! TEAMNAME PLAYERNAME ignites with a X for Y performance against the OPPONENT, hitting for the cycle. PLAYERNAME swings a lethal bat with N singles, N doubles, N triples and N homers, completing a notable performance and driving in X runs. A jublilant PLAYERNAME remarked after the display of hitting prowess "There is an old saying that money can't buy happiness. If it could, I would buy myself X hits every game. I don't like to sound egotistical, but every time I stepped up to the plate with a bat in my hands, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the pitcher."

-- Boston's Willy Mo Pena touched Yankees pitching for the cycle in yesterday's contest. The 25-year old centerfielder went 5-5 with 3 RBI.

"The hardest part was the triple," confessed Pena, "A lot has to go right for you to get a triple. You're at the mercy of the official scorer, the ball could take a funny bounce. You could get greedy trying to stretch a double into a triple. It's really hard."

V2006 did not have many items in this category.

Here is an example to go by:

Example #1

It seemed that Boston center fielder Steve Link could do no wrong against the New York Yankees as he rapped out 5 hits in 5 at-bats. New York pitchers couldn't get him out as Link seemed to know which pitches they were throwing.
"I think the Red Sox were stealing signs." growled one unhappy New York fan.
"I just felt good today. I saw the ball well and just wanted to make good contact and put the ball in play." exclaimed the jubilant Link in the postgame press interview.

Example #2

During a player’s career, there are days that stand out, and this day was certainly special! Steve Link went 5 for 5 against the New York Yankees.
"He was patient up there today," the Boston skipper told the press after the game. "I like the way he waited for his pitch and wasn't overly-agressive. Link has a tendency to go after some bad balls sometimes."

Example #3

History in the making. That what the fans at Fenway Park got to see today. Steve Link of the Boston Red Sox came to the plate 15 times and came away with a dynamite day as he exploded for 5 hits against the New York Yankees.
In the postgame press conference the New York skipper told reporters, "Hey, we tried to get him out. We threw everything but the kitchen sink against him and he hit it. Maybe next time we'll throw the kitchen sink."
