Hitting Streak

When the MLB regular season resumes after the All Star break, Rangers' 2nd baseman Ian Kinsler will look to continue his hitting streak, which has now reached 25 games. But the thing I find funny/weird/odd/surprising about the streak is the name of the hitter Ian is looking to eclipse in the Ranger record book. Now you may already know, especially if you live down here and watch or listen to the games where they mention it about a dozen times a game right now; but if you didn't know the name of the Ranger who hit in 28 straight games, who would you guess? Michael Young? Al Oliver? Julio Franco? Jim Sundberg? Pudge Rodriguez? Juan Shitforbrains Gonzalez? Mickey Rivers? Mike Hargrove? Toby Harrah? Alex Rodriguez? Rafael Palmeiro?

No No No No No No No No No No No...

The Ranger who owns the 28-game hit streak is...




Gabe Kapler

Sorry, Oddibe Young Again McDowell, it was not you.

However, you ARE the answer to two Ranger-related trivia questions:

1. Who was the first Texas Ranger to hit for the cycle?

and

2. Which Texas Ranger outfielder had such a poor arm that it made Mickey Rivers' look strong?
