Baltimore Orioles Players Who Tested the DiMaggio Hitting Streak

Even though Baltimore Orioles Cal Ripken Jr.has the record for the most consecutive games of 2,632, his longest hitting streaks were 17 games long in 1985, 86, and 92.

The longest hitting streak in Baltimore Orioles history dates back to the earliest days of baseball. Between 1989 and 1897, Willie Keeler of the National League Orioles had a 45-game hit streak. His ancient streak is the second-longest in baseball history after Joe DiMaggio‘s 56 games in 1941.

Before the Orioles became the Orioles, they were the St. Louis Browns.
