MVSNYC"By definition, a 56 game hitting streak means you hit in 56 out of 58 games if you include the game before and after the streak.
Is that better than someone who went on a 29 and 28 game streak during the same span?
No!"
...first of all, i still do not see davidcycle & eric's logic, but respect their opinions...
second, as impressive as the 56 game hit streak is to me...
even more impressive is ted williams hitting .406 that year...(last person to hit .400 in a season).
given the choice, however, i'd take .406 on my resume any day over the hit streak.
