Eddie Stanky ties a major league record by drawing a walk in seven consecutive plate appearances

On August 30, 1950 — When Eddie Stanky gets his fourth base-on-balls off Pirates’ southpaw Lefty Chambers in a 4-0 victory at Forbes Field, the Giants’ leadoff hitter ties a major league record by drawing a walk in seven consecutive plate appearances. The second baseman, known as the ‘Brat,’ will be the league leader in walks (144) and OBP (.460) this season.

Stanky ties the major-league record set by Billy Rogell and Mel Ott. The Giants win, 4 – 0, behind Sal Maglie.
