Brooks' career is remarkable in that he is the only player in Major League Baseball history to have exactly four hits that comprise a cycle. He had a double and home run in his nine game with the Dodgers in 1993, then hit a single and triple in his five games with the Marlins in 1996. No other MLB player ever finished his career with exactly four hits; each of a different variety.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/brookje01.shtml|title=Jerry Brooks Stats}}</ref>
