Halfway To Joe D.

Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier extended his hitting steak to 28 last night with an infield single in LA's 5-2 win over the Cubs.
28 games is a long streak. To think he has to hit in another 28 just to tie Joe DiMaggio's record of 56 his hard to fathom.
Can Ethier do it?
I never like to say someone can't do something. If it's been done once, it can be done again, no?
Obviously it is a longshot. But I'm not of the belief that it is an impossible record to break.
I'd anxious to see how long Ethier can keep it going. The Dodgers team record is 31 held by Tommy Davis in 1969. Let's see if he can get that. Right now there is some pressure on Ethier. Imagine how that pressure will be turned up if he gets real close.
Ethier has one of the sweetest looking swings in the game. I'd love to see him break Joe D's record. It probably won't happen but, you never know.
