Consecutive interleague games reaching base
Posted by Andy on June 20, 2008
A note a Peter Abraham's blog got me to thinking about this search. Most consecutive interleague games reaching base at least once:

So Bonds has the record at 43, but it's Derek Jeter at 34 with the longest active streak. Magglio Ordonez had his streak snapped at 31 earlier this year, and Ichiro also has an active streak at 29. The next-longest active streak I could find is Justin Morneau at 19.
