The Andre Ethier Hit Streak

I mean Joe D got a hit in every game for a span that equates to a 1/3 of a season. I really don't see someone beating that feat.

That same season, Williams hit .406 with 37 HRs (1.287 OPS!!!) as a 22 year old and he still loses the MVP to Joe D.

Also, Ted Williams had 84 straight games where he got on base at least once. That's more than 1/2 a season. Statistically, that's harder to do.

I knew it.

I don't know if it's possible, but Ted Williams' achievements get seriously underplayed. His on-base streaks are more impressive and harder to achieve than DiMaggio's hit streak. Yet, they are rarely ever mentioned.

Joe D had a catchy song for his hit streak.

Yeah, our nation didn't turn it's lonely eyes to Ted Fucking Williams when a housewife adultery epidemic ran rampant.

If you are into reading I suggest reading the Ted Williams Biography of an American Hero. Williams lost out on a few MVP awards because he hated many reporters. Reports admit that they left him off their ballot entirely because of their dislike of how he treated them.

Also lost some of the prime of his career serving in WWII
