Unbelievable Hitting Streaks That Shook AL and NL Baseball History!
When the streak reached 30-plus games, Rose began targeting those ahead of him. He wanted to pass Ty Cobb, who had a 40-game streak, and then George Sisler, who hit in 41 straight. He would get to Wee Willie Keeler, who got to 44 straight in 1896 (before the modern era), but that was it.
3. 41 – George Sisler, St. Louis Cardinals (July 27, 1922 – Sept. 17, 1922)
Sisler wasn’t all that well known in baseball lore until 2004 when a Seattle Mariners rookie named Ichiro Suzuki shattered his 83-year-old record for the most hits in a single season.
