Hit Streaks - Thru June 9, 1929

  Dale Alexander (DET) So, it is definitely my fault that I have not been posting updates with respect to hitting streaks - particularly because there have been some impressive  streaks thus far this season.  The tab for hit streaks is separate from other batting stats in Skeetersoft - it isn't hidden by any means, but I don't check it as often as I do the usual hitting stats that I incorporate into the Week in Review posts.  So, without further adieu, here are the 20 best hitting streaks so far this season: That is quite an impressive run from Dale Alexander at 27 straight games - as are those from other star players like Rogers Hornsby (23) and Al Simmons (22). The longest active streak belongs to the Brooklyn Robins' Harvey Hendrick, who has hit successfully in his last 14 games.

New Project: 1930 NPIII/Skeetersoft Full Season Replay

With past projects, I got bo...

Stellar Performances: Chicago White Sox vs. Cleveland Indians (April 22, 1930)

Wes Ferrell (Indians) It was a true pitcher's duel today in Cleveland, as both starters took shutouts into the 9th inning.  Indians starter Wes Ferrell pitched nine full innings, allowing only four hits and striking out five.  It also was his turn at-bat to lead off the bottom of the 9th inning, but he was pinch hit for by Bibb Falk - who proceeded to blast a pinch-hit walk-off homerun to seal a 1-0 victory for the Indians.  With the win, Cleveland moves to 3-3 on the year, while the White Sox fall to 2-2.
