HaHa. Fancy he may start "looking" for hits now - recognition of records starts to affect your swing ? Been extraordinary though - particularly when you remember he struggled to hit a Barn Door a few months & years ago !!!Paul Hickmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00144667244809443144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-69521611749208626312016-05-21T21:44:32.309-07:002016-05-21T21:44:32.309-07:00The Speaker streak didn't end July 18th.

Two games were played the following day, with Speaker getting a hit in game one but not game two. So the 19th must be the day. (I checked boxes for the 30-ish days before that, and though I didn't have a box for every game, there wasn't one box I saw where Speaker didn't have at least one hit. So I'm assuming this was the time of the streak, with it ending on 7/19 unless for some reason they said him not getting a hit in the suspended game on the 18th--if he didn't in fact get a hit--counted as the end of the streak.)<br /><br />Source: Milwaukee Sentinel (always good for boxes)<br /><br />This just in: before posting this I just tried Googling and came up with a post on the fenwaypark100.org site from 7/18/2012 that said "100 years ago yesterday" the streak ended. Meaning 7/17/1912. I checked the paper again and saw two linescores (no boxes) and two separate short accounts of that day's doubleheader, but no mention of the streak ending. But I gotta figure the Fenway100 people had the boxes and saw that the streak ended on 7/17.Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.com
