Which MLB record do you think would be the first to be broken?
I know DiMaggio's has been the gold-standard as far as longevity - quite fittingly, for that matter. Not sure if we'll ever see one player maintain a hot streak for that long.
Interesting to note: while Ichiro holds the record for posting 10 consecutive 200+ hit seasons, not once did he ever have a hitting streak of 30 games or more. I was surprised to see that.
Also, added the caveat that the strikeout record must be done in regular innings.....apparently one pitcher racked up 21 K's in a single game, but it took him 16 innings to do it.
