    1. Sandy Alomar had a streak of around 30 games.

    8. i think Gale Sayers won it at least once.

  • Ballpeen,

    On #3 right game, but you didn't give the points.

    On #5 right score, wrong team (err, right team on losing end)

    On #6, Thome is only one of several.

  • suns said:

    # 3 is 222, in 1916- Cumberland Bulldogs vs. Georgia Tech Engineers

    October 7th 1916.

    You said anytime during college football history 😁.

    #6 I think would ba a-rod, barry bonds (if you count him active), manny rameriz.

    Technically, I cannot give you #3. (you knew that date off the top of your head?)

    Bonds is not active and does not count, otherwise your answer to #6 would be incomplete.

    Bonds is not active and does not count, otherwise your answer to #6 would be incomplete.

    Actually, perhaps I can give you #3 as perhaps I misread it. You put Ga Tech in bold....did that mean you meant that it was the Rambling Wreck who had the 222 points? If so, that is the correct answer....if you assure me that you didnt cheat and look it up.

  • #1 would be Sandy Alomar Jr.

    The bold team had 222 and yes i did cheat 😁.

  • #1 would be Sandy Alomar Jr.

    @siperbowl said:

    Not right. Sandy had the second longest hit streak for the Tribe at 30 games. Another player had a longer one (31)

  • 6. a-roid, ken griffey jr, manny ramirez, and is sammy sosa still active?

    Sandy has the second longest streak, and yes, Sayers is one of the answers to #8
