Jones Hittin' on All Cylinders
Ruppert Jones accomplished one of the rarer feats in baseball today when he hit for the cycle against the Detroit Tigers in the 8-0 Oakland Athletics win at Tiger Stadium 1980.

Afterward, Jones acknowledged that his accomplishment was special, but said he was more interested in helping the Athletics win.

"Maybe one day I'll look back on this with more meaning, but right now I just want to go out tomorrow and put some good swings on the ball and help my club win another game," Jones said.

On his historic day, he went 4-for-5 with 4 RBI and 3 runs scored -- and also got a spot in the history books.

Ruppert Jones doubled in the 1st, hit an RBI triple in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off Mike Maitland in the 9th.

For the season Jones is batting .310 with 48 hits and 13 home runs. He has scored 24 times and batted in 24.
