Thanks, Moose! So a couple of guys have gotten close, but nobody's actually broken Dimag's record.

Truly amazing that the record stands up even to thousands of simulated seasons.

It is astonishing, DiMaggio's record standing up to all our simulated seasons in normal league variations.

In Moose's entry, the "49 - Musial, Stan (1946), Pittsburgh Swashbucklers," was a Musial card on one of my teams. I would not have noticed if I hadn't checked the Leaders page. That may be one issue. How many times do we all check the Leaders page? Maybe some great exploits in this regard have gone unnoticed.

I think most of us routinely look at the Player Batting and Player Pitching pages -- Leaders seems less popular, maybe. What do you think?

I have been thinking for a while that it is a real possibility a consecutive streak might get overlooked. If Barry Bonds pops 114 HR, everyone sees it on the Player Batting page. But a hitting streak just might go unnnoticed. Still, it would seem to me that if a streak got into the 40s, somebody in the league would be likely to pick up on it, and the league would start to follow it. Even so we can't be sure that there isn't a 57+ game streak by someone buried somewhere in past, on what is now a long-gone Leader Board.
Still, HBP used to only be recorded on the Leader Boards, and we have plenty of Hughie Jennings exploits in Moose's record books.

Agreed, kinda think these streaks get overlooked, not noticed.

SOM's new method of "records" is AUTOLEAGUE only. When I was maintaining them, it was user submitted. And I tried to keep the extreme theme leagues ineligible. So yes likely there were a lot of records that weren't found due to no one checking for them. The days of building teams just to break an established record is gone.

I think a lot of people enjoyed the records. They are actually still there. But on a large majority of them, the links no longer show the team details to prove the record. Bad on SOM for taking away our fun.

Ha ha ... Thanks Charles. I really did enjoy building record breaking teams, the downside being that it cuts into your overall success in most cases and skews your winning %.
