August 17, 200916 yr We now have had 10 hits in 13 straight games. I know we have the franchise record but does anyone know what the all time record is ??? It seems like we have to be getting close to making history.
August 17, 200916 yr The off day 2morrow could break our groove though, I'm glad yesterday's day off didn't...
August 17, 200916 yr It's actually 18 straight games with 10+ hits. In modern Major League history, the 13 games ranks tied for 11th. The all-time record is 18, set by the Indians (1925) and St. Louis Browns ('22). http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090816&content_id=6462574&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb
August 17, 200916 yr I think it's just another stupid statistic that FSN is beating up. "Bonicafio is batting .440 on day games where he bats on the left side and the temperature outside is below 92 degrees." "You know Rich, that must be a Major League record. We'll have our crack-staff check that one out!"
August 17, 200916 yr How is it just another stupid statistic? 10+ hits for 13 straight games is quite an achievmant.

I agree... but what I am getting at is that it's not a prominent statistic in baseball. It's important that our offense has come alive, but it's not important that we get 10 hits every single game. They kill it by abusing the stat. It's not that important that you've got to hear about it every 10 seconds.
