I bet you didn’t know that the Rays record for most consecutive games with a base hit to start a career is held by Rocco Baldelli (13), who did the feat in 2003? In that time, Baldelli hit .407 / .419 / .559.
That streak is also the Rays record for hit streak to start the year, regardless of if it’s to start a player’s career. Delmon Young challenged it last year with 12.
I also bet you didn’t know that it isn’t a Ray that holds the hit streak record for only Tropicana Field. Nope, it’s none other than Johnny Damon with a streak of 25 straight games with a hit at the Trop (1998 - 2002). Carl Crawford is the best Ray with 23.
