	Santiago discovers fountain of youth - CBS SportsLine
		SAN DIEGO -- It seems like forever ago that Benito Santiago preceded Florida's Luis Castillo by setting the then record for Latin players by hitting in 34 consecutive games, a late-season streak in 1987 that was thwarted by Orel Hershiser and the Los Angeles Dodgers on October 2 that year.
		Santiago did have a flashy style that wound up becoming his trademark, using his arm as a whip in firing throws down to second base while never leaving his knees.
		Swerving to avoid a driver who had run a red light near his Florida home, Santiago smashed into a tree and suffered a broken pelvis, a fractured right knee, a serious cut in the back of his head, a lip that was cut in half and several cuts and abrasions to his face.
