	Joe DiMaggio Hitting Streak by Baseball Almanac
		It is ironic that the streak began against the White Sox, who on at least four occasions nearly ended DiMaggio's streak themselves.
		He apologized (for telling DiMaggio that he thought the streak would end that day) and he was serious.
		During the streak Joe DiMaggio had a batting average of.408, a slugging average of.717, he faced four (4) future hall of fame pitchers, and he played in the 1941 All-Star Game (he went one-for-four, scored a run, and drove in a run).

	Hitting streak - BR Bullpen
		A hitting streak is a stretch of consecutive games in which a batter records at least one hit.

		This includes not only games in which the batter receives a walk, hit by pitch, or sacrifice hit in each plate appearance, but also games in which he is not in the lineup.
