Unbreakable


70 years ago today, Joe DiMaggio extended his hitting streak to a record 56 games.  The streak came to an end in Cleveland on the 17th, as Indians third baseman Ken Keltner made 2 great plays to rob DiMaggio of 2 hits.

Here is a post highlighting a Sports Illustrated look at baseball in 1941.

Here is a Kostya Kennedy article from March about the weekend DiMaggio broke George Sisler's AL record hitting streak of 41 games.
