Cycle alerts

Yellow alert - Player needs triple for cycle
Orange alert - Player needs double for cycle
Red alert - Player need single for cycle

If a player needs a home run for the cycle, the level of the alert varies depending upon the determination of the Cycle Detection Warning System, which is headquartered in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.

Here is my non-canonical list of major leaguers who have played a game in all 30 of the current parks in use. The first six players are on Washington. Unless noted, every player's 30th park was the new Nationals Park. And starting next year with new parks for the Yankees and Mets, we will wipe this slate clean until the Yankees-Mets interleague series.

The Yankees play in Houston & Pittsburgh in June, so at the very least Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada (if healthy) should be able to join the club.
