Bradley's streak ended in the first start of his major-league career in the leadoff spot. He had batted sixth or lower in 28 of the 29 games of his streak, batting second in Game 20. You have to go back to 1942 to find the last major-leaguer who produced a hitting streak as long as Bradley's during which the player batted sixth or lower as many as 28 times. In 1942, Yankees second baseman and future Hall-of-Famer Joe Gordon hit safely in 29 straight games, each of which he started in the sixth slot in the lineup."allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.com
