Unbelievable Streak: The Untold Story Behind Baseball’s Longest Home Run Run
T-1. 8 – Don Mattingly, New York Yankees (07/08/1987 – 07/18/1987)
Tied at first with a homer in eight straight games is Mattingly, who began his run with four RBIs and two home runs in a game against the Minnesota Twins. And over the next seven, he drove in a whopping 17 more RBIs and had another two-homer game. His record-tying home run – and his 18th of the year – came in the fourth inning of a 7-2 loss to the Texas Rangers. The following game was even more disastrous for the team, where they were blown out 20-3 and Mattingly’s only bases were a single and a double.
