June 29, 1941, Joe DiMaggio breaks George Sisler's record for the longest hitting streak in American League history. In the first game of a doubleheader, DiMaggio hits a double to tie the mark off Dutch Leonard. In the nightcap, the "Yankee Clipper" tops the record with a 7th-inning single against Walt Masterson to break Sisler's 1922 record of 41 straight games.
