Jimmy Rollins hitting streak halted at 38 games

On April 6, 2006 — Jimmy Rollins goes 0 for 4, snapping a 38-game hitting streak that stretched over two seasons, and the Philadelphia Phillies lose, 4 – 2, to the St. Louis Cardinals at Citizens Bank Park. Rollins’ 38-game streak ranks as the eighth-longest in major league baseball history and the longest in Phillies’ history.

Rollins hit .379 (64-for-169) during his streak and fell just 7 games short of the all-time record of 45 held by Willie Keeler. “Wee Willie” got a hit in the final game of the 1896season then posted at least one safety in 44 straight games to begin 1897. Rollins joins Vada Pinson (31 games 1965-1966), Ron LeFlore (31 games 1975-1976) and Hal Morris (32 games 1996-1997) as the only players since 1960 with 30-gamers over two years.
