Hits? How about Times On Base

By Tangotiger, 11:31 PM

Instead of a batting streak focusing on hits, how about times on base (H+BB+HBP). Personally, I’d also include RBOE. Anyway, here’s Tim Raines. A 42-game “on base” streak. Wade Boggs? How about 57. I don’t know if Joe D got a walk before or after his hit streak. If he didn’t, maybe Wade Boggs has the real record? Or, maybe Ted Williams? Rickey Henderson got himself a 46-game streak. Pete Rose got himself a 48, 46 and 41 game on-base streak. Paul Molitor had a 39 and 38. And perhaps the greatest fielding / worst hitting MLB player of my lifetime, Angel Salazar? A 6-game streak. All meaningless, but all lots of fun.
