Revisiting Craig Wilson's 6 for 6 streak

[GiveHyzduashot]

Taken from Jayson Stark's rumblings and grumblings:


Pirates rookie Craig Wilson had one of the great feats of this or any year last Monday and Tuesday. Over a span of two games, he got six hits in six innings -- off six different pitchers. Check it out:

Monday
First hit -- Pinch hits in 6th inning and homers off Kerry Wood (tying the major-league record with seven pinch homers in season).
Second hit -- Stays in game to play right field and singles in seventh off Todd Van Poppel.
Third hit -- Singles in eighth off Scott Chiasson and leaves for pinch runner.

Tuesday
Fourth hit -- Starts at catcher and singles in first inning off Jason Bere.
Fifth hit -- Singles in second off Carlos Zambrano.
Sixth hit -- Doubles in third off Courtney Duncan.

say i think hes a dandy pinch hitter maybe he should stay in that role forever:hmm: or maybe someday he will get regular playing time? is it his strikeouts???

That's pretty amazing! I've spent a few hours digging through a few books (and I've got a few), and I haven't seen anything close to such a feat. That's got to be one for the record books.

including his first inning screamer, and a single tonight, Craig is now 14 of his last 21. Yet he is STILL not in the lineup every day. AMAZINGLY enough, mac ran the same lineup out today as he did yesterday. Bob Walk and Greg Brown were talking at the start of the game on radio about how rare of a feat that was.
