Most Consecutive Games with at Least One Hit in MLB
In Major League Baseball (MLB), the record for the longest consecutive games with at least one hit belongs to Joe DiMaggio. The New York Yankees legend hit safely in 56 consecutive games from May 15, 1941, to July 16, 1941.
DiMaggio's streak began in a game against the Chicago White Sox on May 15, 1941, and continued for nearly two months. During that time, he had 91 hits, including 15 home runs and 55 runs batted in. His streak ended in a game against the Cleveland Indians on July 17, 1941, when he went 0-for-4.
The record has stood for over 80 years and is considered one of the most unbreakable records in sports. DiMaggio himself had a chance to extend his streak to 57 games, but he was intentionally walked four times in the final game.
