On this day in 1987, Paul Molitor went 0-for-4 and the streak was over. He hit .415 during the streak. It is still the 7th longest streak and the best since Pete Rose in 1978 and Joe DiMaggio in 1941.
Molitor broke with the Brewers in 1978. He went on to have a marvelous career: .306 average, 3,319 hits, & 1,307 RBI.
He hit .355 for the Brewers in the 1982 World Series and was the 1993 World Series MVP when Toronto beat Philadelphia.
Just a great player and recently managed the Minnesota Twins.
