Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

A cycle is getting a single, double, triple and home run in the same game. There have been a couple of hundred players who hit for the cycle, but only a few who ever hit a "natural" cycle: That is getting first a single, then a double, then a triple and then a home run in that order.

Batting for the cycle means hitting a single, a double, a triple, and a Home Run in a single game. They do not have to come in any specific order or in consecutive at bats. Just as long as they all happen within a one game.
