The most unbreakable records in MLB history: 56 Consecutive hits

It may seem easy but registering a hit in an MLB game is incredibly difficult.

Once again, we have a record here that seems unbreakable mostly due to the way the game is played today. Back in 1941, outfielder Joe DiMaggio registered a hit in 56 consecutive games. It wasn’t as though DiMaggio was stepping up to the plate and bunting his way to the record or getting one hit per game.

In fact, by the time DiMaggio wrapped up his streak, he recorded 91 hits. Even more impressive than that, the 1955 Hall of Famer managed to hit .404 during those 56 games.

Currently, no one is within single digits of DiMaggio’s record. To make him feel even safer, it’s been roughly a decade and a half since a player has come even remotely close, and that would be Jimmy Rollins with 38 consecutive games with a hit from 2005-2006.
