Your......"-- probably the most impressive of all baseball records"......certainly distinguishes Joe D from the rest.
I think this record will be not be broken. I recall when Pete Rose tied Tommy Holmes for 44 consecutive games,
but I think Rose was stopped shortly after.

DiMaggio was a very patient batter and most of these current hitters really don't know how to work a pitcher....
they are too "anxious". Furthermore, taking steroids wont help them running a batting streak, either.

I believe DiMaggio was able to sustain his phenomenal hitting streak, despite the day in and day out pressure, be-
cause he had been there before; and, he knew how to endure it....he ran a 66-game hitting streak, playing for the
SF Seals.
