	Much like my head, this is very hard.

	brewcrew09:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 17:30 GMT	4 points
	Tough quiz, some really old school guys in there.

	Nuclear_Knuckles:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 17:31 GMT	12 points
	Bizarre how I know a lot of the older streaks, yet have almost no memory of the Rollins and Utley streaks...even when their names poppsed up I don't really remember them happening. Getting old before my time :(

	9/28. I could've swore Nomar had a long streak going in the late 90s?

	brewcrew09:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 17:37 GMT	1 point
	@Alex: I think Nomar only made it to 30? Could be wrong though.

	chronosaurus:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 17:38 GMT	-2 points
	12/28... I was completely sure Pujols had one of these, but it was only 30 games long: http://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/feats-streak.shtml

Comment below threshold: show it

	Hal Morris had a 32 game hitting streak in 1996/97. This streak should be included on the list.

	DirtyKash:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 18:03 GMT	2 points
	Nomar's streak was 30, as was Pujols'.

	king21:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 18:04 GMT	-2 points
	@brewcrew: you're right, Nomar's was only 30 that year

	BelowZero:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 18:09 GMT	5 points
	I coulda swore, and its pretty crazy that ichiro is not up there.

	brianc:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 18:11 GMT	4 points
	im amazed ted williams never had a long streak, especially hitting .407; some other guys that are a little surprising to be absent are gwynn and george brett.

	Nuclear_Knuckles:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 18:19 GMT	6 points
	Williams walked too much to put together long streaks.

	mungar:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 18:27 GMT	1 point
	Thought Hugh Duffy should've made it, since I believe he hit .440 one year. Also, surprised Dimaggio didn't have multiple streaks, since he did have 56 and all... Guess it goes to show how hard it really is.

	when will people learn to just guess last names?

	swellwrench:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 19:01 GMT	3 points
	almost everyone does...I bet you that almost none of the 88.4% who got Dom DiMaggio actually knew him. the small leftover who got Joe but not him are probably people just discovering Sporcle who don't know that quizzes accept last names.

	Nuclear_Knuckles:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 19:20 GMT	-2 points
	Or maybe they only want credit for the guesses they actually make, rather than backing into a correct answer they didn't really know.

	@swellwrench: I could legitimately imagine people honestly thinking of Dom DiMaggio. With that said, if it wasn't for Joe DiMaggio, very few people would know who he was today, anyway.

	josh23:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 22:52 GMT	1 point
	i agree with smellwrench. nice diglet by the way.

	Morbo:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 23:43 GMT	2 points
	Tee hee! Heinie...

	BentKangaroo:	Apr 29th, 2009 at 00:57 GMT	2 points
	Jawa: No way? Most hardcore baseball fans know who Keeler, Delahanty, and Lajoie are. And I knew who Dahlen was (but forgot to guess him). There's way more hardcore baseball fans than obscure bingo term fans

	grant:	Apr 29th, 2009 at 01:46 GMT	-4 points
	@jawa88: 19th century baseball players would include Guerrero (who's on the above list), but also current players like Rodriguez, Griffey and Jeter. And bentkangaroo is right: most baseball fans would know their baseball history. Also, Billy Hamilton had a 36-game hitting streak in 1894. I knew that going into this quiz, but it didn't appear, and it is also included in the provided source.

	elgato10x:	Apr 29th, 2009 at 02:48 GMT	-1 points
	@jawa88: no way, the hardest sporcle quiz is the one where you have to name every pope in 15 minutes. Even if you cheat there is no way you can get 100%, or even come close.

	ku_sucks:	Apr 29th, 2009 at 04:57 GMT	2 points
	something doesn't feel right... a baseball quiz about hitting, and no "darn you yastrzemski!" comments...

	Edge:	Apr 29th, 2009 at 08:26 GMT	2 points
	Oh please, no way is this as hard as bingo calls. There's two answers (one indirectly) on this one that are gimmes. I defy anyone to get two on bingo calls on their first try.

	Feelingroovy:	Apr 29th, 2009 at 20:51 GMT	1 point
	Yes, tough quiz ... but just the kind a baseball likes.

	BentKangaroo:	Apr 29th, 2009 at 23:54 GMT	1 point
	@ grant: Hamilton was the second one I typed in after Dimaggio. Glad to see I wasn't incorrect

	schoopdawoop:	May 4th, 2009 at 17:57 GMT	1 point
	good call pat.

	amorris525:	May 10th, 2009 at 16:38 GMT	1 point
	4 More games and you will have to add Ryan Zimmerman to this list!

	brewcrew09:	May 13th, 2009 at 23:32 GMT	2 points
	Ryan Zimmerman just missed out. He was so close to making the list.

	Nitram_Odarp:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 04:33 GMT	2 points
	@grant: Guerrero's streak would be considered 20th century. The 1800s were the 19th century.

	imprettygood:	Jun 30th, 2009 at 02:04 GMT	0 points
	damn this has to be up there with one of the hardest mlb quizzes like nl mvps etc..

	phoenixboy25:	Jul 17th, 2009 at 01:02 GMT	0 points
	castillo's streak was in 2002, not 2005

	bentley:	Aug 31st, 2009 at 04:58 GMT	1 point
	I usually get near 100% on the baseball quizes, but this was really tough...7/28. I got Ken Landreaux though! Only because I'm a Twins fan...his was the longest in team history.

	gobosox00:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 19:11 GMT	2 points
	Gene DeMontreville - 1896-1897 had a hitting streak of 36 games which would put him 10th on the list. This needs to be updated. From baseballreference.com : DeMontreville had a 36-game hitting streak from 1896 to 1897. The streak was over the last 17 games of 1896 and the first 19 games of 1897. This streak was not discovered until 2007; it ranks as the tenth-longest hitting streak in Major League Baseball history.

	I would love to see someone make a quiz like this, but list all hitting streaks down to 1 game. It would take up like 200 web pages.

	TheBigO:	Apr 8th, 2011 at 16:45 GMT	1 point
	Louis Castillo's streak was 2002. Longest ever by 2nd basemen until Utley tied him in 2006.

	GeoExpert:	May 4th, 2011 at 02:31 GMT	1 point
	I was extremely disappointed when Ryan Zimmerman missed this list by one game.
