The 'Yankee Clipper ' batted .408 during his record breaking streak. He will begin another streak that will last 17 games, extending the remarkable span of hitting safely to 73 of 74 games.
When Keltner met DiMaggio years later after both men had retired, Joe signed a ball for him, inscribing it "To the culprit."

While I am never one to get too choked up about Joe D's streak, I do like that the day after the streak ended, DiMaggio started another streak that lasted 17 games. That means he hit safely in 73 of 74 games. Without Keltner, it could have been a 74 game hit streak.
