On this day in baseball history
1941:
In a doubleheader with the Senators, Joe DiMaggio ties and then breaks the American League consecutive game hitting streak of 41 established by George Sisler. In the opener he knots the record with a double off Dutch Leonard, and in the nightcap ‘the Yankee Clipper’ tops the record with a seventh inning single against Walt Masterson.
