Hey, sorry to have dropped off the boards for a few days. Blogger was not letting me comment - I kept getting error messages. I did send a message to NESN regarding the missed pitches - no response to date.
I just subscribed to the Play Index tool at BBref - why did I wait so long? - and it's interesting to note that only four players in Red Sox history have hitting streaks of at least 28 games to match Ethier: Dom DiMaggio (34), Nomar Garciaparra (30), Johnny Damon (29), and Wade Boggs (28). Williams's longest stretch was 23 straight in 1941, the year he batted .406.
FYI, Ted Williams owns six of the ten-longest stretches of games in a single season where a player reached base at least once (Times On Base or TOB). He owns the top spot with 84 and also had streaks of 74, 48 (twice), 47, and 44. Youkilis had a TOB streak of 44 in 2008, the longest in the past ten seasons.
