    28 Games and counting...Damon is halfway to 56...

    Only halfway...but it seems to be an interesting guy going after a hit streak...

    Damon is a scrappy player...a hustler...a guy who could get a run at a long-term hit streak...

    I think 56 is out of reach...but fuck...28 is a long streak...longest in awhile...

      Longest in Red Sox history since Nomar.

          You know...it's early...but wouldn't it be funny if Damon could continue this thing...

          how would Yankee fans feel if Damon made a run at their God Dimaggio...

              Not a good enough hitter.

              No way he even sniffs 40 games.

                  I dunno. He's almost at 30. I would imagine 99% of big league players in history have never sniffed that number.

                  Pete Rose was a lifetime .303 hitter and had a 44 game streak once. It's possible.

                      56 is UNTOUCHABLE...

                          I really don't think 56 is untouchable...although noone has been within 20 of it...and I think...what...only 2 guys have been within' 12?

                          Molitor and Rose both had 44 right?

                          I can't remember how many Molitor had in a row...but I think it's less than 44...but not much...

                          Damon is the kind of guy that could do it...

                          I think you underrate him as a hitter Al...in particular...this year...

                              He's only hitting .345 this year, Pojo. Let's not give him too much credit now.

                                  I really doubt it, IMHO...

                                  Once/if he hits 30, the media pressure gets pretty intense....

                                  Rose's streak was insane in terms of media coverage....

                                  BTW Poj, Molitor's streak was 39, in '87.....

                                  Here's some tidbits to show how great a hitter Dimaggio was....

                                  His 56 game streak in '41 wasn't even his personal longest, he hit in 61 straight in '33 in the Minors...

                                  After his 56 game streak ended in '41, he hit in 16 more consecutive games.....

                                  72 out of 73 games, not bad....

                                      I think most of us doubt it...just worthy of mention...because in general...we don't even get streaks THIS long...

                                      Nobody is comparing Damon to fucking Dimaggio here...

                                      I was just speculating...lmfao...

                                          There aren't even that many that got to 30...

                                              Nope, except that rookie phenom Jerome Walton had a 30 game hitting streak for the Cubs in '89. He promptly faded away into oblivion after that year.
