2) Joe D's 56 game hitting streak. I would imagine that people replaying the entire century would be hard pressed to show a 56 game hit streak. I'm guessing one in every 10 or so accurate sims would match it. But who knows? Joe D did have a 61 (I believe?) game streak in the minors, and his brother Dom had a 34 game streak! Now that's weird.

In one of my historical leagues in Beta Testing Joe Jackson had a 56 game hitting streak spread over two seasons. Here is my original post

At first I thought it was bogus 'cause it went over two seasons. The streak started 7-10-23 and ended 4-22-24. Turns out he hit in 51 consecutive games from 7-10-23 to 9-5-23. Then was injured and out until the next season. The next season he hits in the first 5 games to set the bar. The only anomaly is that in the real schedule the Athletics did not play on April 22, 1924.
I did not have Almanac on so I don't have box scores.
