Jose Abreu's cycle was awesome

White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu became the 7th player to hit for the cycle in 2017 on Saturday night. That's the most in one year since 2009. And besides Nolan Arenado's, it was definitely the best. Please watch this until the end.

Abreu, who is having an excellent season (.300/.351/.545, 3.6 WAR), has just 11 triples in 2,578 career plate appearances. Making the feat even more impressive, Abreu didn't sleep the night before because of his concern for his family in the path of Hurrican Irma, especially his pregnant wife and parents in Miami and grandmother and son in Cuba. As of Saturday night, they were all safe.

2018 Over/Under (win a free book)
Mar 29, 2018

Baseball is here! And more importantly, that means the over/under game is back. It seems as though everyone is an expert this time of year. Somehow we convince ourselves that we are better at predicting baseball outcomes than everyone else. Well, AFITB is putting that to the test for the third year in a row. Think you know more about baseball than us? You probably do. But go ahead and prove it anyway.
