How about Jorge Cantu? The Marlins infielder had a hit and an RBI in the first 10 games of 2010 to set a new record to begin a season. It is worth noting that Cantu also collected a hit and RBI in the last four games he played in 2009 and dating back to last year, he has a 20-game hitting streak. Cantu’s consistency has helped Florida to a 9-7 record thus far – just a game and a half behind the division-leading Phillies. To put into perspective how impressive Cantu’s hit-and-RBI streak is, consider this: during Joe Dimaggio’s 56-game hitting streak in 1941, the longest RBI streak he put together was seven consecutive games; in fact, The Yankee Clipper even went seven games straight without an RBI.
