Did you know that Lou Boudreau was named one of the 100 Greatest Cleveland Indians Players Top 100 Greatest Indians and Boudreau was named one of the seven shortstops.
Lou Boudreau and teammate
Ken Keltner
were partly responsible for stopping the
Joe DiMaggio
56-game
hitting streak
in 1941.
Joltin Joe
entered the game, on
July 17, 1941
, with his
streak
in tact, and Keltner easily handled the first two grounders, making great defensive stops at third. In his last at-bat,
DiMaggio
hit a hard ball up the middle, which took a bad hop, but Boudreau barehanded it, started a double play, retired
Joe
at first, and ended the
batting streak
.
