MLB slugger Choo Shin-soo extends on-base streak to 50 games
- 6 years ago
In Major League Baseball, Korean slugger Choo Shin-soo has extended his record-breaking on-base streak to 50 games,... the longest of any active M-L-B player.
The Texas Rangers' designated hitter got his 50th on-base Saturday night, local time, against the Orioles in Baltimore on a walk in the first inning.
Choo had already claimed the record for longest on-base streak by an Asian player in the big leagues.
Fewer than fifty M-L-B players have ever had a streak as long as Choo's is now, and no one has since 2007.
In terms of that statistic, he joins the ranks of players like Joe DiMaggio , Ted Williams and Barry Bonds.
And with 12 homers during those 50 games, it's little surprise that this coming week Choo will be playing in his first All-Star Game.
