The first cycle of the 1974 came from an unlikely source- El Paso Dawg's backup shortstop Humberto Rivera. In just his 4th start of the 1974 season, Rivera went 5 for 5, and all of his extra base hits were the first of the season for him.
While Rivera is a very fine contact hitter, he doesn't possess much power and is a sub-par defender. He is also thought to be particularly injury prone and not a great influence in the clubhouse.
But for one day at least, he is the talk of the WPK.
