Lee's Streak

[ZMovieman]

Bit of a strange question, but seeing how Derek Lee has reached base safely in all 31 games thus far, it got me wondering, what is the longest streak for a player safely reaching base in consecutive games? Obviously it's at least Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hit streak at minimum. Just curious if anyone knows.

So just every game for a half a season. No big deal.

Good point. Does he have a mixed heritage?

LMAO at the last 3 or 4 posts.

Can Lee's streak extend back to the end of last season? I don't know if he ended the season with a small streak or not.

And if he is what's the longest streak by someone of mixed heritage?

Lee went 0-1 as a PH on 9-30. He did not play on 10-1. So he did not have a streak coming into 2007.
