Seventeen of the 28 players in major-league history who have hit 500 or more home runs also are among the 133 who have homered in five or more games in a row.
Does that guarantee greatness for the Cubs’ Christopher Morel, who tied a team record with homers in the five games from May 17 to May 23?
Heck, no. The five-in-a-row club also includes George Alusik, who totaled only 23 homers in five seasons and 738 plate appearances despite his five-game streak for the 1962 Athletics.
