Saw this yesterday. Impressive stuff.

Jose Peraza is second currently with 48 straight.

Shades of Joe DiMaggio.

And the streak has ended at 129.

Joe Sewell, from Wiki:

Of more historical significance, Sewell struck out a mere 114 times in 7,132 career at-bats for an average of one strikeout every 62.5 at-bats, second only to Willie Keeler (63.1). He also holds the single-season record for fewest strikeouts over a full season, with 3, set in 1932. Sewell also had 3 strikeouts in 1930, albeit in just 353 at-bats (as opposed to 503 in his record-setting year), as well as three other full seasons (1925, 1929, 1933) with 4 strikeouts. He struck out ten or more times in only four seasons, and his highest strikeout total was twenty, during the 1922 season. For his 1925–1933 seasons, Sewell struck out 4, 6, 7, 9, 4, 3, 8, 3, and 4 times. He also holds the record for consecutive games without recording a strikeout, at 115.

And the streak has ended at 129.

So it's @AverageJoesGym fault, right?

Way to jinx him Joe! :lol2:
