Hundley also introduced the one-handed catching style, a technique that Hall of Famer Cecil Randolph Hundley Jr. was born on June 1, 1942, in Martinsville, Virginia, to Cecil Randolph Hundley Sr. and Lois Mitchell Hundley, with one brother, Kenn, and two sisters, Mary Lois and Pat. He also hit for the cycle in a 9-8 win over the Astros in 11 innings on August 11, 1966.
