It was the end of the season for the Hillsboro Hops and the Visalia Rawhide, both of whom missed out on the postseason. Happy trails, and we'll see you next year!
It was also farewell to Buddy.
Hitters streaks of homering in consecutive games By JohnW53 on May 8, 2021, 4:48am CDT +
Only the Yankees (16,350) and Giants (14,804) have hit more.
The Cubs have hit at least 1 homer in as many as
17 consecutive games. They have homered in at least
10 straight games
5 games in a row.
Intriguingly, neither have the Braves, who had hit the fourth most total homers, 14,047.
Nor have the Dodgers, Phillies or Reds. That makes 5 of the 8 National League teams that existed before 1962. The record for all 5 teams is 5.
.
On the other hand, the Padres had a streak of 6 by Graig Nettles in 1984.
Morgan Ensberg homered in 6 straight games for the Astros in 2006, when they still were in the NL.
