Hamlet on the Beach

[KCGHOST]

The only teams to have peformed this single game offensive feat more than once in their history are the Giants, Dodgers, Mets, and Orioles. What is it??

The home run cycle?

Not correct.

Uh, maybe you can help us out with the clue hidden in your title. Are we to unscramble the title, as you often have us do, or is it something to do with Hamlet and oceans? If the latter, I'm guessing it has to do with doubles -- you know, from Act III, Scene I: "2B or not 2B".

Just to change things up the title has absolutely nothing to do with the answer other than an incredibly oblique and unintended reference to Hamlet's most famous siloquy.

Score run(s) even though they were no-hit....Other than that can I call a friend......? LOL

You may call a friend or even an enemy (if you have any). :)

"Hornie Chimp Hunts" + "Hornie Chimp Hunts" could have been a title in line with some of my other work.

Nice Job, UC.

So, KCG, what is the "incredibly oblique and unintended reference to Hamlet's most famous siloquy"? I had to memorize it for a high school drama class and am still familiar with most of it. And I don't recall any references to either pinch hitters, or even to doing anything "back to back".

You know....2B or not 2B! :D

UM, as I said the oblique reference was unintended. In the siloquy, as UC stated, there are back-to-back phrases ("To be ....To be").

It's just that your word clues are usually so maddeningly clever that I enjoy working through them, and I was trying to do so here. You've set a high standard for yourself, sir, so I guess it was surprising that this title was not of significance to the answer. (Especially when the title can be anagramed to include the words "team" and "bench".)

[KCGHOST]

Thanks, I do try to make the titles helpful since the questions on their own can be very trying. I just didn't have the time to work something up for this one.

[Utter Chaos]

How about "Hamlet on the Beach" = "The Bench, the Alamo"?

OK, maybe I should keep trying. :atthepc

[KCGHOST]

Okay,, try this:
