BTW welcome to the site.

Nope he wasn't, by the same token you expect hitters to develop as well. Like Joltin Joe, I think he went close to +60 at California in the minor and that translated later to 56 in the pros. It may, just may, be an indication that the record is breakable...unless they walk the guy the way they do Bonds.

Well, it we're talking college, Ventura's 58 is nice but it ain't the record.

According to Baseball America, back in 2003, "Division III outfielder Damian Costantino broke the NCAA record of 58 consecutive games with a hit during the third game of Salve Regina University's spring trip to Florida. It eventually ended at 60 games... Costantino, a 24-year-old junior at the Newport, R.I., college, singled against Mount Union (Ohio) to break the record."

Division III?

Well Eric Youngblood of the Florida Penal League got 66 last year, Of course it is said he threaten to have a "hit out on pitchers that would not fall in line with the record attempt."

Division III...cool....it seems that under certain conditions 50-60 game streaks are possible.

Robin Ventura never really made anything of himself in the MLB. A few good years with the Mets, and an All-Star season with the Yanks.

He was part of some good Whitesox teams early on...

The man had over 290 homers, +1100 RBI's...and six gold gloves...that's more than a decent career my friend.

If Ichiro is facing Boston anytime soon, his streak will end. As a Yankees fan, when I need him to get a hit, he never does. He looked totally overmatched in the games against the Red Sox earlier this year. He struck out three times in one, or more than he normally does in a month.

His streak already ended.
