Don Mattingly also hit safely in 24 out of 25 games in his official rookie year of 1983, July 10-August 13 (9--1--15). His only miss was the "pinetar"...
I had this note from Joe Dittmar. Friday while driving to work I heard a sports update by Warner Wolf. Often he includes some unusual or offbeat feat, and...
I have no information about the pitch counts, but could Joe Dittmar or someone on the Committee send me a batter-by-batter accouout of the game. I once...
Lyle, here is something from Bruce Jenkins' Three Dot Blog. It's remarkable enough that on May 1, 1920, Brooklyn and Boston played a 1-1 tie that lasted 26...
Dear Joe -- You inadvertently sent me the wrong game. You sent me 8/25/1922 rather than 5/1/1920. Please send me the batter by batter and correct boxscore...
I saw an article saying the Dodgers had tied the MLB record for longest home winning streak to begin the season (12 by the 1911 Tigers), but of course that...
I came up with a longer list going down to 10-0 that I have shared with the Dodgers and the Hall of Fame (they asked). The Dodgers have changed the language...
Ryan Zimmerman's hitting streak, now at 24 games, is the longest for any player whose last name begins with 'Z,' surpassing Heinie Zimmerman's 23gamer in 1912....

Trent, Keeler's two year split was one in 1896 and 44 in 1897, so he would remain the "K" leader if you considered only single-season leaders. But what about...
Longest single-season streaks for F, K, P, and W: F: Pete Fox's 29g streak is the sole leader (Flood's streak was 12-17) L: Landreaux's and Lajoie's 31g...
I have a question about the Ryan Zimmerman's hitting streak. Now he has 24 hitting streak games including two hits in game tied with Houston this Tuesday at...
Zimmerman collected a single in the game before the suspension. All stats in a game count on the day it started, not the day it completed. David Vincent From:...
Hey, David. Greetings I understand that connected the hit on Tuesday and that all stats are valid. My question is if I had not connected hits and he does at...
If I understand the question (and the rules) right, suppose we have the following: 23 game hitting streak up to May 5. May 5 - hitter goes 0 for 4 in game...
I can't recall the details, but I believe there is a quirk like this related to Barry Bonds's debut. David will know. Lyle ... From: WORTH, FRED To:...

Barry Bonds made his debut on 5/30/1986 but then played on 8/11/1986 when the Pirates finished up the game suspended on 4/20/1986. B-r.com lists his debut at...
This reminds of something: are there currently any rules about what times a game can begin/continue? I recall old rules about games not being allowed to...
I've never heard of someone discussing the reverse situation. Bonds could debut with an 0-for-4 on 5/30. He then goes on a 55 game hitting streak through...
..or if Bonds hit in 56 in a row from Apr 1 through May 31, then later plays the 8/11 resumption and goes 0-for-1...thus breaking his streak into perhaps a 19...
For Bonds (and also Greg Maddux), the decision was made to use the actual (physical) debut date rather than the date of that suspended game. David Vincent ...
