Well, hold your horses...Gene Baker is not the leader, because his career actually started in 1953. The box scores (and hence the streak finder) doesn't back before 1954. Same goes for Sammy White, last guy on the list, as his career started earlier. But Jim Finigan did start in 1954, so he counts.
This list is certainly a varied bunch. For every Paul Molitor and Jim Rice there is a Rey Quinones and Coco Laboy.
So I guess this is more trivial point of itnerest than anything else...

If you notice, most batting avarages are pretty healthy ranging from .300 to .600. Bobby Knoop however, was bringing up the rear with a less than impressive .176 BA. He is at the top of this statistic despite going hitless in two of the five games.
