As an aside...wouldn't it be theoretically harder for a player to achieve a long hit streak in OOTP versus real life because whereas in the real world a player on a streak is going to swing at everything to keep it going (DiMaggio basically stopped walking as his streak went on), an OOTP player is, I assume, playing the same way every day, regardless of the streak?
There is a line in the OOTP code that says, in effect, "IF {Hitting.streak > 60 AND {Batter.up = Hitless; Then GoSub PinchHit"

At least that is the rumor.
