It started on May 15, 1941 with a single against the White Sox in a 13-1 Yankees loss.

How remarkable was DiMaggio’s streak?

First, no one has come close: Pete Rose got to 44 in 1978, Paul Molitor got to 39 in 1987 and Jimmy Rollins got to 38 in 2005-06!

Second, he didn’t just hit safely in 56 games. From May 15 to July 17. DiMaggio hit .408 (91-for-223), hit 15 home runs and drove in 55 runs.

Unbelievable is not enough!

Yes, I agree with my late father that DiMaggio’s 56 game-hitting streak and Nolan Ryan’s 7 no-hitters will never be surpassed.
