Yesterday’s results
It’s still early in the season, but we’ve already reached a milestone of sorts: With the selection of Ichiro Suzuki (1-for-5), baltimore20 extended his hit streak to a BTS-high 28 games, the halfway point to Joltin’ Joe’s hallowed record. Immediately behind baltimore20, the leaderboard held steady. nico27945 pushed his second-place streak up to 26 games, and bj_hotfox_22 and rbcaliguy009 remained tied for third at 25 games.
Yesterday’s Top 5 most selected players
1. Manny Ramirez (LAD): 7.5%, 2-for-3

The majority of the leaderboard picked Ichiro. I’m glad I changed to Adrian Gonzalez in my early streak.
