With respect to post-season hit streaks (consecutive post-season games with at least one hit), the record is 17 games, jointly held by Hank Bauer, Derek Jeter and Manny Ramirez.
Yoenis Cespedes has a current post-season hit streak going of 9 games. If Yoenis gets a hit in tonight’s game, he will match Babe Ruth’s current post-season hit streak of ten games.
Yes, the Babe has hits in each of his ten most recent post-season games, and should he mount an unlikely post-retirement, post-death comeback Ruth could challenge the 17-game record. The longest currently active post-season hit streak is 12, held by Al Dark, who is still alive, though at age 91 his opportunities to break the 17-game record are probably limited. After Dark (so to speak), the holder of the next-longest current streak is Billy Martin, with hits in his last 11 post-season games. As with the Babe, death will probably interfere with Billy’s extending that streak, though with PEDs these days, who knows? Three actually living, albeit long-retired, guys have, like the Babe, ten-game current streaks: Hall of Famers Barry Larkin and Ryne Sandberg, plus Roy White, the fine Yankee outfielder of the 1960s and 70s. And there is one guy with a ten-game active post-game hit streak who does have a real chance to extend it someday, Pablo Sandoval.
