    [size=1]The Latest Hit Run: Manny Ramirez[/size]

    He's fucking hotter than a firecracker...

    29 in a row today...

    56 is out of the question...but this kid can fucking hit?

    any predictions?

    (take note...every time I've posted a thread during a hit streak like this...it's ended the next game...lmfao)

    I'm going for 35 here...

    but won't be surprised if it's 29...

      You need a good amount of luck to keep the streaks going...

      I know he's gotten a couple of hits late in the games this week....

      But yeah, 35 sounds about right....

          I don't know if Dimaggio's hit streak record will ever be broken. That one seems like it's unbreakable. The more players try, and fail, to get anywhere remotely close to that record, the more you realise just what a big achievement that was by Dimaggio.

              Well, just to add a little spice onto Joe D's streak...

              If it wasn't for 2 great stops at 3rd base in game #57, he would have hit in 73 straight games....

              Because after the 57th game, in which he finally went 0-fer, he started another streak and hit in 16 consecutive games....

              And oh yeah, in minor league in 1933, he had a 61 game hitting streak...

                      Keltner's plays...were more an adjustment of Dimaggio's stubbornness than anything else...

                      I think one of the plays...in a show of gamesmanship...Keltner challenged Dimaggio to bunt on him by backing all the way up to the edge of the grass (JoeD never bunted for a hit during the streak), and Dimaggio promply smashed a shot down the line that Keltner fielded...and nipped him from the foul grounds...

                      the other play, Keltner was standing right where Dimaggio hit it...

                      Boudreau's play...was a bad hop that LB snagged by his head...for a double play...

                      I think Dimaggio never had 2 games in a row during that season without a hit...and I think the Yanks went something like 45 and 11 during the streak. I could look it up...but fuck it.

                      The amazing piece of the streak is that it's never been CLOSE to being touched since then...

                      Rose with 44 (tied Keeler for 2nd I think) in 1978...

                      Molitar with 39 in 86 or 87...

                      Rollins made it to 38...but had an off-season in between...

                      a few others...

                      Ty Cobb had a 40 gamer...and I think a 35 gamer...the only to have 35 or more...twice...and hit something like .480 if you combine both streaks...which is fucking incredible...

                      Utley's at 30...and the people to get to 30...and crash and burn before 35 are numerous...

                      the real pressure with start at the magic 35 game mark...

                      and...

                      you still have 21 games to go just to tie Dimaggio...

                      luck is a big piece...but media may be even bigger. Baseball was big back then...but rumors of the US joining WW2 were swallowing up most of the radio news...

                      but the summer of 41 was huge...

                      and the dancing of Williams and Dimaggio...wow...

                      Teddy ballgame throws down .406...the last person to hit .400...and doesn't win the MVP...

                      but 56 in a row...

                      wow...

                          Utley rolls to 33 tonight...

                          and hotter than a firecracker...

                              Ruth's record fell this year (though tainted). Maris's record fell recently (again tainted).

                              I am going to have to be selfish on this one and I hope he doesn't do it. :p

                              Not that I'm worried about it he's a loooong way off still.

                                  Utley's 0-4 right now...led of the 7th...

                                  he MAY have one more at bat...

                                  it may be over...

                                  and irregardless...he won't break it...

                                      Utley on deck...
