Philadelphia Stops Taylor Hit Streak Tuesday, June 10th , 1975 For 22 straight games, Chris Taylor tried to ignore his hitting streak. It wasn't easy. Well, the 26-year-old Kansas City Bulls first baseman can forget about it now -- it's over, courtesy of the Philadelphia Quakers. The Quakers held him hitless in 3 at-bats at Independence Field and snapped his consecutive-game hitting string at 22. There was at least one good note to the end of the streak, however, as the Bulls took the win by the score of 9-2. "I tried to ignore it for weeks, but you guys in the media wouldn't let me," he joked with reporters after the game. "I'm looking forward to some peace and quiet now." Taylor is currently batting .296 with 9 home runs and 39 RBIs. |
