And I bet it doesn't include an option for my friends streaking through a campground on a nice July 4th weekend. For no reason whatsoever. Which happened only 2-3 years ago.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

I'd have said Cal Ripken before it came to light that the whole thing was during an era of rampant steroid use.Boston College Eagle Hockey » "We want our players to leave here with a diploma in one hand and a ring in the other." - Jerry York

Re: Most Notable Streak?
Ripken's streak is for breathing and not thinking enough of his team to be benched when he sucked, whoopdy-do. (Yes, that can get me lynched in Maryland).
It's either DiMaggio or Jennings. The others are silly.Cornell University

mmmm notable steak
oh.... nevermind....
DiMaggio's record is amazing. It's quite a feat to get even halfway to 56. I kind of agree with Kepler about Ripken's streak - after he got to a certain point, they were never going to bench him, and it didn't matter if he performed well or not.

How about Jim Marshall's 282 consecutive games played streak? That's pretty good for a defensive lineman.Originally posted by PricelessGood to see you're so reasonable.Originally posted by ScoobyDooVery well, said.Originally posted by RoverA fair assessment Bob.

I think it's gotta be DiMaggio, though I don't see Ripken's streak as being as unimpressive as some people are making it out to be.Cornell University Men's Hockey
