So, Armstrong, Dimagio, Jack Nicklaus 18 major wins.
I'm going with Nicklaus, 18 major wins, 19 major 2nds, 48 top 3 over all.
If I had to pick someone in a team sport.
I'd go Jim Brown, I think he avergaged close to 5.5yds per carry for his career and I think he avg over 100yds a game for his career.
Also, LC might have some info on this, there's and old story that Dimagio got "help" from a score keeper in yankee staidum that a few of his 1hit games were actually errors scored hits? I've never seen anyone break it down, didn't know if you knew anything about it. Also, what's better, hitting in 56 games, or hitting in most of those games for a better average (Ted Williams didn't hit in 56 straight but had a better BA during that stretch).

Yea, I read about that. Supposedly, Dan Daniles, the Yankee score keeper and freind of DiMaggio's, was said to have given DiMmagio some hits that were close. But it's all bullshit because Daniles didn't even keep score after game 43. There's really no evidence at all of "foulplay" or whatever you want to call it. It's all just people talking and speculation. I mean, you know how people get when guys get really close to records. It's always some kind of "he got help" talk brought up.
And DiMaggio's average wasn't bad or anything during the streak. He hit .408
Williams hit .412
