Yes, in a way - Jimmy Ryan, primarily the center fielder for the Cubs, hit for the cycle on July 28, 1888. He also pitched in that game, a 21 to 17 win over the Detroit Wolverines. He is the only player to hit for the cycle (single, double, triple, and home run) AND pitch (at all) in a major league game.

The last major leaguer to hit for the cycle was Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez on July 31, 2010. In a home game at Coors Field, he hit a first-inning single, a third-inning triple, a sixth-inning double and a walk-off home run in a 6-5 victory over the Chicago Cubs.

It has never happened in major league history, although several players -- most recently Fred Lewis, then with the San Francisco Giants -- have hit their first-ever home runs while completing the cycle.

In MLB, that was Dave Winfield (born October 3, 1951) of the California Angels who was 39 years, 264 days old when he hit for the cycle against the Kansas City Royals on June 24, 1991.
