+1 thumbs upThanks to CPops for the idea to put a bunch of hitters who started the season slow out of the gate on a poll.  Most of these hitters was his idea too.  Thanks Pops.

Considering nobody has ever come within 6 of Joe DiMaggio on MLB.com, it's a matter of fact that they're not going to here either.  However I knew there'd be a ton of huge streaks early, and I bet somebody gets 25-30 by the end of the season.

What's your tops on mlb.com so far this season?  I can't get past 8 before hitting a road bump.  I got greedy with Chipper the first time.  I took him one too many times and he finally had an 0-fer.

 

I'm back up to a daunting 2 now.

Sorry Mike.  I don't know why I overlooked your name.  I can't change it on this poll, but I will change it on tomorrow's poll.  Thanks for the catch.

 

I'm allowed one mistake every now and then, right?
