The Chicago Cubs have achieved some rare feats in Major League Baseball history: Gabby Hartnett’s game-winning “Homer in the Gloamin'” on Sept. 28, 1938; Kerry Wood’s 20-strikeout game on May 6, 1998; and the 2016 World Series championship after a 108-year drought. On Monday night, catcher Carson Kelly added another rarity to the franchise’s list — he hit for the cycle. In a 18-3 win against the Athletics in West Sacramento, California, Kelly hit a single, double, triple and home run.
