I thought Gaylord Perry threw one for the Pads - must have been thinking of somebody else or maybe he was on a different team at the time. He won the Cy Young for the Padres, but no no hitter. Fifty years of existence: zero no hitters and one cycle. Gaylord is 80 years old! That's an interesting trivia question as far as who hit the only cycle for the Pads. Tony Gwynn? Or is it somebody very obscure.

Ryan 7 Koufax 4 Verlander, Feller, Corcoran (got his 3rd in 1884), Cy Young 3 "Two Gun" Corky Corcoran, who should have had two guns instead of just a big thingy. The Two Gun Corcoran who was killed on the Blue Bottle Saloon by English Bob? See if anyone gets this movie reference, I know it was Larry Corcoran (I don't know if he had a big thingy tho) One of my all time faves. Perfect in every way.

The cycle is a very nice but goofy stat. It means you got 4 hits, 3 for extras, 10 total bases, and snuck a triple in there. I'd rather send 3 out.
Though as a fan, a cycle is more fun to see, given the HR glut these days.
