QOTD: I'll toot my own horn but we had a 23-game winning streak in college, the longest in the nation my junior season. It was NUTS. Being a part of that streak was amazing. We lost to Bowling Green...I wasn't able to play because I had infected tonsils...I was in the hospital listening to the game on the radio...crappy way to go out. I think we got up to #5 in the nation.

QOTD: Last season, Royals SS Tony Peña, Jr. went 244 plate appearances without drawing a walk. That's more depressive than impressive, though.

Placido Polanco's errorless streak. As streaky and odd as baseball is to go this long without bad luck, a bad throw or anything is impressive.

And a friendly scorekeeper always helps. That streak ended last season.

QOTD: Cal Ripken's streak, it'll never be broken IMO. As for winning streak I'd say the Rockets one is pretty amazing considering where they were when it started. Unfortunately they've peaked WAY too soon.

QOTD: Philly Flyers, 35 game unbeaten streak. 25 wins, 10 ties, 0 losses. Out of this world!
