You know, DiMaggio hit safely in 56 consecutive games in his <i>second best</i> year at the plate. Hotness exists. For some portion of those 56 days, Joe DiMaggio was hitting better than Joe DiMaggio hit during Joe DiMaggio's best year. Does coldness exist? His streak ran from the middle of May to the Middle of July. He had to have quite a drop off for '41 to wind up his second best year.
