July 2, 1941: Joe DiMaggio reached # 45 and a new record!

Joe DiMaggio got to # 45 and broke the previous record of # 44:

"On July 2, the Yankees again faced the Red Sox. Joe DiMag was intent on getting a hit in his 45th straight game and setting a new major league record at Yankee Stadium."

From now on, every game was a new record!
