OK, first off, firing this guy to hire Terry Collins was one of the biggest mistakes the club has made, maybe just after the Morgan trade. His 609 hits are kinda low on the list, but at least during 1981, he strung them together: his 23-game hit streak that year was a club record for 19 years until Tough Tony Eusebio hit in 24 straight in 2000.
