In regards to Joe DiMaggio, while everyone remembers his 56-game hitting streak in the majors, what is less well remembered is that he had a 61-game hitting streak in the minors. It occurred in 1933 while he was playing for San Francisco of the PCL. He was just 18 years old.

The all-time longest hitting streak was set by Joe Wilhoit in 1919. The length? 69 games.
