Multi-Hit Game Streak Record?

**pagula** · 07-03-2006, 09:05 PM

Hello Folks,
Everyone knows DiMaggio has the hitting streak record but what is the streak record for Multi-Hit Games (2 or more in a game obviously) and who holds it? I cannot find this answer anywhere. Help!

Joe Mauer had 5 straight games of reaching base 4 times earlier this year.

According to my informations record belongs to Rogers Hornsby who had 13 consecutive multi-hit games in 1923.

I do know that George Brett holds the record for consecutive three-hit games. He had six in a row from May 8 to 13 of 1976.

I was going to mention Brett. I know that Cal Ripken had 8 or 10 consecutive 2 hit games in '91 and I'm pretty sure that whichever it was, it was at least the American League record at the time.

Other short streaks of note.

Kevin Seitzer had 12 hits in 3 games in his rookie year (I think 6-6, 2-4 and 4-5)

Kirby Puckett had either 9 or 10 hits in 2 games in his rookie year. I think it was his FIRST 2 Games.

Puckett went 4-for-5 in his debut, but went 1-for-5 the following day.

Yea, it was '87 that both Puckett and Seitzer put up 12 hits in 3 games which tied at least the AL record at the time.

On 8-29 Puckett went 4-5 with 2 HRs
On 8-30 He went 6-6 with 2 doubles and 2 HRs.
He also went 2-4 the next day.

On August 2-4 Seitzer went 6-6, 2-5 and 4-5.
