From this site for the NL :

Ken Boyer, Bill Collins, Tim Foli, Jim Hickman, John Mabry, and Billy Williams each hit for the cycle in natural order…snip…Bill Terry is the only National League cycle hitter who had a grand slam instead of a home run!

And from this site for the AL :

Leon Culberson, Bob Fothergill, Charlie Gehringer, Tony Lazzeri, Jose Valentin, and Bob Watson each hit for the cycle in natural order …snip… Jay Buhner, Jimmie Foxx, Nap Lajoie, Tony Lazzeri, and Miguel Tejeda are the only American League cycle hitters who capped off their cycle with a grand slam instead of a “mere” home run!

Just to let you know, donkeyoatey, I edited your post to fix one of your links.

Thanks, bibliophage. You are a schooner and a geranium.

Slight hijack: Joe Gargiola once got “thrown out for the cycle”, that is he made an out at all three bases and home plate in one game. I don’t know if it was in order.
