41 straight and counting!
To me this is a Dimaggio type of record....yet the media remains curiously quiet to a large degree!
This is an "all-time" MLB record.
The equivalent to a 13 2/3 inning perfect game.
As a closer! (except for his last outing)
Though actually a tie, it certainly exceeds the great Jim Barr record which was accomplished in the National League.No pitchers have come to the plate to face Jenks.In fact, the Sox have had a very tough stretch of competition since it began on July 17th.
Let's hear it for a young man that has defeated some serious demons over his short career!
