The 24,000 fans who went to Yankee Stadium on Thursday, June 26, 1941, were hoping to see Joe DiMaggio’s hitting streak get extended to 38 games. Taking the field against the lowly St. Louis Browns, the Yankees would take their swings against right-hander Elden Auker.
Coming to bat in the second, DiMaggio flew out to the left-field; in the fourth, he reached on an error by shortstop Johnny Berardino, who, after retiring from baseball became an actor, becoming best known for playing Dr. Steve Hardy on the long-running soap opera “General Hospital”. In his third time up in the sixth, DiMaggio bounced out to third.
