Jody Gerut

Jody Gerut still insists I’m wrong. He’s told me time and again that he wasn’t reading historian David McCullough’s book John Adams when he and I met that midsummer in Buffalo a decade ago.

But I remember, Jody; I remember.

There you were in a corner stall, a book as thick as the Yellow Pages in your hands, reading it as your Triple A teammates on the Buffalo Bison had other things they preferred to do.

Coming into Saturday night's contest between Milwaukee and Arizona, outfielder Jody Gerut had only four hits on the year.

Gerut matched his season with four hits in the Brewers' 17-3 rout of Arizona.

And they weren't just any four hits.

With a single, double, triple, and home run, Gerut became just the sixth player in Brewers history to hit for the cycle.

The outfielder, who had made only four starts all season, definitely earned himself a spot in Sunday's game.

"It's going to be tough not to put him in the lineup," said Brewers manager, Ken Macha.
