50th anniversary end of 56-game hitting streak
1897, Willie Keeler (Baltimore Orioles) had a 44-game hitting streak to start the season, breaking the previous single season record of 42 set by Bill Dahlen. Keeler had a hit in his final game of the 1896 season, giving him a National League-record 45-game hitting streak.
George Sisler (St Louis Browns) had hits in his first two games returning from the injury before going hitless on September 18, 1922. Sisler's 41 game hitting streak remained an AL record until Joe DiMaggio (New York Yankees) set the MLB record with his 56-game hitting streak in 1941. His run lasted from May 15 to July 16, during which he had a .408 batting average.
