Hufflestones

Aubrey Huff hit for the cycle last night, and the two of the hits held extra special meaning:

"Obviously for me, that's probably one of the most special days of my baseball career," Huff said. "The triple was my 1,000th hit, the double was my 200th double. The homer, we were lucky enough to get that back from a fan. And the single, I got it back. So I got all four balls. That's going to be a pretty good memento."

The last Oriole to accomplish the feat was Cal Ripken in 1984. The only other Oriole to do it was Brooks Robinson in 1960; Huff is the first Baltimore player to hit for the cycle at home.

Only a true baseball fan like DP would report this, but a lot of other fans love to read about a journeyman's top day and look at the O's company that Huff joins, Cal & Brooks.

Yup. Truly a day to remember for Huff.
