Consecutive Stuff

[DOUGHBOYS]

While looking up the career of Jack Taylor the other day, I ran across some other consecutive streaks in baseball.

Here are some noteables



Nine consecutive seasons with at least 200 hits by Ichiro.

Delving a little deeper into this, Ichiro has close to 500 hits that NEVER left the infield. Putting that in perspective, Ichiro has more infield hits in nine years than Rickey Weeks has TOTAL hits in six years.



Here's some records that won't be broken-



Christy Mathewson- 12 consecutive 20 win seasons

(Nobody won 20 last year)



Ty Cobb hit over .300 23 years in row



Randy Johnson struck out 300 batters or more five consecutive seasons



Tom Seaver struck out at least 200 men in nine consecutive seasons



Jack Morris had 14 consecutive opening day starts



23 seasons with the same team by Brooks Robinson and Carl Yastrzemski



24 consecutive all star games by Willie Mays and Stan Musial



-------------------------------------------------



And some that can be broken-



Mark Buehrle throwing 15 straight perfect innings



13 consecutive 600 at bat seasons by Pete Rose

(Ichiro has nine)



Kevin Youkilis had 2002 consecutive chances without an error

(good timing, opportunity, hands, and luck go into that one)



Nolan Ryan has the modern record of playing 26 consecutive seasons



Lou Gehrig and Jimmy Foxx had 13 consecutive seasons with over 100 rbi



Ted Williams went 84 straight games getting on base via hbp, bb, or hit



Chief Wilson, in 1912, hit a triple in five consecutive games





We can't end this with a Chief Wilson stat....



The average designated hitter spends 11 minutes on the field during a game.

Those are not consecutive

nice list...Lincecum may be the one who can match seavers streak with the consecutive 200ks he is good enough and young enough...but that has that big if If he stays healthy

This has nothing to do with consecutive anything, unless you count consecutive years spent on the DL, but I laughed out loud when I read this on Rotoworld:



Brewers pitching coach Rick Peterson told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel this week that Mark Mulder is completely healthy and ready to contribute.

Somewhere Mark Prior's phone is ringing...

Ben Sheets joins that club if he misses this year too.
