Four different players have compiled streaks that lasted 35 games total. Clarke was a premier hitter in his time -- batting over .300 in 11 different seasons -- and was inducted to the Hall of Fame in 1945. For Cobb, this was only the second-longest hitting streak of his career (he made it to 40 games in 1911). Castillo's streak is the longest ever by a Latin player and is tied for the longest ever by a second baseman with Chase Utley.
