Tommy Holmes passed away earlier today. He held the modern National League hit streak record before Pete Rose passed him. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.

check his 1945 stats – 28 HR’s , 117 RBI’s, 70 BB and only 7K’s! .352/.420/.577 – Yes there was a wartime boost, but…wow!
a good man who was active in CYO baseball and helped out with the MLBPA Alumni.
