Luke Scott became the first Astros' rookie to hit for the cycle, while also becoming possibly the first player in _Major League Baseball history to accomplish a "reverse natural cycle" (home run, triple, double and single, in that order) on July 28, 2006. id=1581115&vkey=news_hou&fext=.jsp&c_id=hou" target="_blank">"Scott first Astros rookie to hit for cycle", mlb.com It is difficult to prove whether he was actually the first player to do so because the league only recognizes natural cycles as single, double, triple, home run. They do not consider the reverse order as a natural cycle. That feat also marked Scott's first career home run. After the completion of the 2007 season Luke will head to Venezuela to play another season in the Winter League.
Scott was traded to the Orioles as part of the trade for _Miguel Tejada
