I believe it was ruled that streaks can't carry over from season to season. If he did not play in a game (a la the Bo reference), that doesn't count against the streak because there was no actual game appearance. But streaks must be contained within a season.<br /><br />I am going on middle school memory here, so it may be a bit skewed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603009778596598032.post-85675166723284986432009-12-01T20:58:04.678-06:002009-12-01T20:58:04.678-06:00By potential, I guess I meant possibility in that ...By potential, I guess I meant possibility in that he isn't past his years of eligibility. He does have 306 home runs which used to mean something. But baseball-reference.com in it's four HOF ratings doesn't rate his HOF chances very high and I won't argue with that.<br /><br />As to a controversy over Hershiser. Bo Jackson shares a record for hitting 4 home runs in a row even though the 4th was hit after a stay on the disabled list. If that counts then if Hershiser kept his streak going into 1990, it should count.capewoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028921297568214207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603009778596598032.post-52299917474035364802009-12-01T20:30:52.021-06:002009-12-01T20:30:52.021-06:00I don't believe Hershiser extended it in 1990,...I don't believe Hershiser extended it in 1990, but I can't remember for sure. I think there was some controversy at the time as to whether it would "count" if he kept going in 1990. I don't believe anyone has come close to equaling the feat.<br /><br />I might have the regular Coleman; next time I dig out my Cards cards I will see if I can find it.<br /><br />And Ruben Sierra...potential HOF? I don't think I've ever heard anyone mention him in HOF discussions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603009778596598032.post-6626821859862542532009-11-28T19:54:26.804-06:002009-11-28T19:54:26.804-06:00I already had one put away for you.I already had one put away for you.capewoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028921297568214207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603009778596598032.post-86616007123767761192009-11-28T19:44:00.766-06:002009-11-28T19:44:00.766-06:00If you have a dupe of that "59 and counting&q...If you have a dupe of that "59 and counting" Hershiser card, I need it.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.com
