Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak comes to a halt when Guardians pitchers Al Smith and Jim Bagby along with third baseman Ken Keltner kept DiMaggio 0 for 2.
Blind in reference to Roger Clemens? Just goofing on his age...
It could be Speaker but I'm not too sure. Does this picture look like the guy up top?

Could have sworn it was Roger Clemens.
I have a bunch of Red Sox "Turn Back the Clock" cards that have players from that era. I'll go through them and see if I can match a picture.

Nolan Ryan (Los Angeles Angels) becomes the fourth pitcher to throw two no-hitters in one season during a 6-0 win against the Detroit Tigers.
His past 10 games he's gone 9 for 28. That may be .321 average but it's only 10 games. He's batting .201 as of Friday. I know he's no power hitter but he should really have a better average. And a .278 OBP? That doesn't help either.
