Most baseball fans know about about Joe Dimaggio's 56-game hitting streak, but don't know Ted Williams has the record consecutive on-base streak: 84 consecutive games in 1949.

Yep...and,
according to this, his career .4817 OBP is still #1. I saw him in Cleveland as a kid. He must, IMO, be regarded as one of the greatest - if not the greatest- American to play in a major league sport.

Both should have played in the other’s park. A friend used to tell me, they would not have had enough ink to print the records!
If Williams were playing today, any guess as to what his paycheck would be??
