Streak
Streak: Joe Dimaggio and the Summer Of '41 | Michael Seidel
5 posts
Streak vividly and poignantly tells the story of "Joltin' Joe" DiMaggio's legendary fifty-six-game hitting streak and the last golden summer of baseball before America was engulfed by the maelstrom of the Second World War. That long-lost summer also witnessed other unforgettable events: Ted Williams's quest to bat 400 and Lefty Grove's pursuit of his three-hundredth victory; a sizzling, epic race between the Dodgers and the Cardinals for the National League pennant; and Mickey Owen's infamous passed ball in the fourth game of the World Series. Featuring complete box scores for each game, Streak showcases DiMaggio's crowning achievement, commemorates a baseball season like no other, and invites us to an America in the last moments of its innocence.

I forgot to at least open my Kindle app yesterday and ruined my 67 day streak. I was trying to make it to triple digits! 😫

SilversReviews I didn‘t know there was something like that. 😀 Thanks. 3y
ShananigansReads @SilversReviews it‘s called Reading Insights. It counts if you read on your kindle but you can only see Insights on your app 3y

I lost my reading streak in February, but I‘m back up to 17 days. My longest streak is currently 24 days.

My long Thursdays at work usually meant I didn‘t make my reading streak (which I originally set at 30 minutes - then downgraded to 15 to no avail) meant I always lost my streak every Thursday, which meant my longest streak was 6 days. I changed my reading streak to 1 minute (just long enough to read a poem or two on my lunch break on a Thursday), and I managed to keep my streak alive through my first Thursday back at work. #reading #readingstreak

GingerAntics I‘m so bloody proud of myself for my streak surviving a Thursday at work, which is why you‘ve had to read all of this (if you actually did). 🤣😂🤣 #proudofmyself #applebooks #beentryingsinceseptember 5y

GingerAntics @Texreader @Butterfinger due to some madness at work today, I lost my streak at 34 days (Thursday would have been 35). I guess I‘m starting over. lol 5y
Butterfinger @GingerAntics nothing wrong with that. 34 days straight is very impressive. 5y
