The players in this quiz have distinguished themselves by a certain in-season accomplishment that they alone have achieved since 1920. What is it?
Rk | Name |
---|---|
1 | Lourdes Gurriel Jr. |
2 | Chris Coghlan |
3 | Dan Driessen |
4 | Rennie Stennett |
5 | Jack Saltzgaver |
6 | Harlin Pool |
7 | Ripper Collins |
8 | Babe Herman |
The solution to this quiz is that these are the only eight players who, as rookies, recorded streaks of eight or more games with multiple hits. Gurriel, this season, has the longest such streak at 11 games, two shy of the searchable record for any player of 13 games by Rogers Hornsby in 1923.
