The last player to with six hits in a game and hit for the cycle was William Farmer Weaver for the Louisville Colonels on Aug. 12, 1890.
This is dead wrong. Rondell White had 6 hits when he hit for the cycle: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes ... 6110.shtml
White's was in an extra inning game, so perhaps they meant to include "in a nine inning game."
White and Kinsler had similar box scores: 2 singles, 2 doubles, 1 triple, 1 home run, 5 runs scored and 1 stolen base.
Adrian Beltre, White, and Kinsler are the only players to score 5 runs in their cycle.
Although Charlie Moore had 2 stolen bases in his cycle, only 9 players have ever hit for the cycle and recorded even 1 stolen base. This list includes three HOFers: Lou Brock, Rod Carew, and Mickey Mantle.
11 players, including Kinsler, have recorded two doubles in a cycle game.
No player has ever hit two triples in a cycle game.
3 players have hit 2 home runs in a cycle game: George Brett, Greg Colbrunn, and Carl Yastrzemski.
In addition to White and Kinsler's 6 hit cycles, there have been 25 other 5-hit cycles. The last was by both Stephen Drew and Adrian Beltre, who both had 5 hit cycles on the same day last year, September 1st, 2008.
