I have a few questions. Who was the first Arizona Diamondback player to ever hit a ball into the pool at Chase field, hit for cycle, and get ejected from a game. Also, who was the first non-diamondback player to hit the ball in the pool at Chase Field?

Two Diamondbacks have hit for the cycle, with both coming on the road. The first to do so was Luis Gonzalez in July of 2000:

The second, if you're interested, was Greg Colbrunn. Devon White was the first D-back to be ejected, and to hit a ball into the pool.
The first opposition player to hit one into the pool was the Cubs' Mark Grace, on May 12, 1998 off Andy Benes.

The Pool shot was hit by Devon White v.s. the Pittsburgh Pirates on May 16, 1998. First ejection, Devon White. Against the Giants on April 3, 1998. I don't believe any player has hit for the cycle at Chase.
