    Dave Winfield Hits for the Cycle at Age 39

    June 24, 1991 California’s Dave Winfield goes 5 for 5 and hits for the cycle as the Angels defeat Kansas City, 9 – 4. In so doing, he becomes the oldest player in history (39) to accomplish the feat. He completes the cycle, the first of his career, in the 8th with a triple off infielder Bill Pecota, making his first pitching appearance. Winfield is the first batter faced by Pecota, who takes over when Tom Gordon’s hemorrhoids act up.
