When someone talks of "Joe Ds big hitting streak", they talk of the 56 game hitting streak by one future Hall of Fame Joseph Paul DiMaggio in 1941. Whole books have been written on the "Streak". The streak we are talking about today is DiMaggios 61 game hitting streak. For those who are not well versed in minor league baseball history, this streak was in the Pacific Coast League in 1933.
On July 26, 1933 at Seals Stadium in San Francisco, California, DiMaggio went 0 for 5 against Edward A. Walsh, Jr of the Oakland Oaks. The Seals however still won the game by a score of 4-3. Walsh who by this time had 4 years with the Chicago White Sox, was able to get the best of the young DiMaggio, just not his teammates.
Tomorrow we look at neat fielding trick by a MLB pitcher.
