"We're doing our jobs. We're getting runners in from third base. We're moving runners over." Saunders said. The biggest thing that was lacking was we were taking our walks, we were getting into scoring position but we were missing the two-out hits or the ball in the gap and that's what we're starting to do. Have you ever seen a home run that had you wondering its distance? See which power hitters hold the records for longest home runs at Great American Ball Park. Yun believes the 30-year mortgage rate may fall to around 5.5 percent by spring or summer of next year. If that is the case, 'I think the housing market will see some steady rebound in terms of sales activity,' he said.
Field goals were five points in college ball back in those days. In the tables below, players and teams denoted in boldface are still actively contributing to the record noted, while denotes a player's rookie season. Of course, the Lakers would extend this streak to 33 games, a mark that still stands today. The closest a team has come to matching it was the 2013 Miami Heat led by LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh, who won 27 straight.

408 during his streak (91-for-223), with 15 home runs and 55 runs batted in. Blanton (2-12) left the game after allowing the first three runners to reach base in the fifth inning. His four innings pitched was the shortest outing of an already tumultuous season and Blanton appeared to snap in the dugout after coming off the mound in the fourth. Blanton attacked a water cooler and threw it to the ground and appeared to engage in a verbal altercation with catcher Chris Iannetta. No player has accomplished the feat more than once in his career and no player has ever hit more than two in a game.
Jim Thome started his streak at Fenway Park in the first inning of the first game of a two-game set in Boston with a three-run home run off Frank Castillo. The next day Thome hit a solo shot off future Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez. Many teams have gone on impressive streaks of beating visiting teams over the years. Home team players know the field and they're pumped to play before the hometown crowd.
US home sales fell by nearly 8% in November, extending longest streak of falling sales in 23 years
Ferguson’s Manchester United team were still the finest in England at the turn of the millennium, winning three consecutive Premier League titles in addition to a famed continental treble in 1999. Barnes’ winning goal also brought an end to the club’s impressive unbeaten run on home soil, with the Merseyside club having previously last tasted a league defeat at Anfield way back in April 2017. Bonds went deep twice off the Dodgers' Jeff Weaver on April 18 to make it five straight, then homered in back-to-back games vs. the Padres. His run at history ended on April 24, when Bonds walked twice and struck out in three plate appearances vs. Jake Peavy. Unlike some other mammoth homers in baseball history, there are only a handful of stories on Meyer's blast -- the longest ever according to the internet. He seems content with that -- helping out a little bit at MLB clinics on the island and really not talking about his baseball career unless somebody finds out about it.
Dale Long was an obscure first baseman for the Pittsburgh Pirates who started his streak with a four-RBI game at Forbes Field. He was the first player to homer in seven straight games and did so in dramatic fashion homering in his final at-bat. Mench then proceeded to drive in multiple runs in each of the next five games of the streak including a 2-for-4, four RBIs night against the Oakland A’s. Mench blasted his second grand slam in a week on April 26 against the Athletics, and a couple of days later in Cleveland became the first right-handed batter to homer in seven straight. His streak ended with a 1-for-3 performance against the Indians on April 29. Joe DiMaggio holds the Major League Baseball record with a streak of 56 consecutive games in 1941 which began on May 15 and ended July 17.
Most consecutive seasons with 40 home runs
Fourteen teams have reeled off long unbeaten stretches at home over the years, all of them spanning several years. In more immediate affairs, the Knicks can't let Barnes get hot if they're looking to continue this holiday heater. Much like the Chicago Bulls before them, the Knicks face another team that has a big decision to make come this winter's trade deadline, which could bid farewell to Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby. As memories of the Raptors' 2019 championship run continue to fade, speculation has begun over whether the franchise baton will be passed to Barnes, the most recent Rookie of the Year winner.
The four-game homer streak was a pretty crazy way to welcome himself to the league, but remarkably, Story’s feat does not even sniff the overall record book. Here are the three longest home-run streaks in baseball history, listed in chronological order. Kendrys Morales is the most recent to threaten the all-time mark. He started his streak in the final game of a three-game set at Yankee Stadium and then returned home to Toronto, where he opened the series hitting a pair of homers off Orioles pitcher Andrew Cashner.
Has anyone ever hit a 600 foot home run?
As a matter of fact, it was Baylor’s retirement that would kick off this amazing run that had never been seen before in any sport. The Lakers were utterly dominant during this time and it continued on this day 46 years ago. The Black Cats lost their opening two home matches under that man again, Mick McCarthy, to extend their losing run to ten. They also went 28 matches without a victory, 12 more than any other club in Premier League history.
Thanks to projected Colorado shortstop Jose Reyes making some ill-advised decisionsand the ongoing investigation that followed, baseball fans have witnessed the history-making power of Story in the early-goings. The closest anyone has come is when Pete Rose hit in 44 consecutive games in 1978. That’s still 12 games — almost two weeks’ worth — short of DiMaggio’s mark.
The series with the Blue Jays is over and the Padres will enjoy an off-day Thursday. After that, they open a three-game series with the Reds at home. Cincinnati's pitches have, by far, the highest home run rate allowed in baseball at 1.70 HR/9. Over the last few seasons thePadres have not exactly been known as a team with a record-breaking offense. Scoring runs has been a challenge for San Diego over the years. Following his previous outing -- his shortest of the season allowing six runs in three innings against Boston -- Iwakuma noted some minor mechanical adjustments he needed to fix to get back on track.
Plus, with the inventory of homes still tight, homebuyers are still having a hard time finding good deals. Expressed in terms of the months-supply metric, there was a 3.3-month supply of homes for sale in November, the same as the previous month. Before the pandemic, a four or five-month supply was more the norm.
Bonds continued the streak at home against the Dodgers, including a pair of home runs off Jeff Weaver in one game. The Giants outfielder homered in back-to-back games against the Padres to reach seven consecutive games with a home run, but walked twice and struck out in his at-bats against Jake Peavy to end the streak. Barry Bonds had his longest home run streak in 2004, three years after his record-setting mark of 73 home runs for a season in 2001. He started the streak with a pair of homers against the Brewers.
"There were people who worked at the stadium full-time," Tennyson explained. A perfect swing, the high altitude and maybe, just maybe, the bat he used all played a role. When Meyer came up for the at-bat in question that night, he had already homered.
Home sales plunge nearly 6% - for the ninth-straight month -... Disgraced casino magnate Steve Wynn cashes his chips as he... The NAR added that the current ten-month streak of declines is the longest on record in the data that dates back to 1999. Their run began following defeat to Everton at the Etihad, stretching almost two years before Robin van Persie’s dramatic stoppage-time winner secured Manchester derby bragging rights for city rivals United.
