Jimmy Rollins of the Phillies doubled in his first at-bat tonight, giving him 38 straight games with a hit, dating back to last season.

That puts him into 8th all-time, and 18 back of DiMaggio's 56. This is the longest hit streak of in the past 19 years, since Paul Molitor had 39 games in 1987.

This is impressive, considering Rollins has never been an exceptional hitter. He's a career .273 hitter.
