July 18th, 1961
On this day in 1961, at Busch Stadium, Bill White ties Ty Cobb's 49-year old record by collecting 14 hits in consecutive doubleheaders as the Cardinal first baseman goes three for four in both games of a doubleheader sweep over the Cubs. The future NL president started the streak on the day Cobb died when he went 8-for-10 in yesterday's twin bill, also played against Chicago, but at Wrigley Field.
