Beat the Streak - Anyone play?

Saw the big Hockey thread on here - wondering if any baseball fans that play beat the streak? Surprisingly only a hundred thousand or so people play it every year. Link below

All you have to do is pick an MLB player (you can pick up to two people per day) to get a hit. Any player on any team. If you pick correctly 57 players in a row to get a hit, you win 5.6 million dollars. Seems not too hard… but the contest has been going on for FOURTEEN YEARS and no one has done it. Closest to ever get there is 51 in a row in 2017, and before that two people got 49 in a row in 2016 and 2007.

Just for non baseball fans, Joe DiMaggio had 56 hits in a row by himself in 1941, hence the contest by Major League Baseball.

It’s possible if you pick two players per day, to get to the goal in only 29 days! Good luck!

If you pick 2 players on one day then they would both need a hit?

I love this. We should have an E4 version of this contest.

Yes sir, if you pick two they both need to get a hit. But then you get a streak of 2. If one or both don’t get a hit, back to zero.

Got ya.
This is great.
If you want to run a contest here I’d be in.

I have never watched a game of baseball in my life but sounds like fun.

I’m always a loyal player for about the first month or two then just fall off after a big streak get broken…
