On April 27, 2005, on Chris Carpenter's 30th birthday and as he claimed his fourth win on the way to a Cy Young Award, a smooth-handed infielder on a one-year residency with the Cardinals pulled off a feat that hasn't been done since.
No it doesn't have anything to do with the length of his last name.
Mark Grudzielanek, who played so well defensively at second base for the Cardinals in 2005 that he won a Gold Glove Award in the American League a year later, hit for the cycle against Milwaukee. On the third pitch of the bottom of the first inning, Grudzielanek homered.
