Frank Robinson has company at the top of the list for on-base streak by a player 20 years old or younger.
Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco tied Robinson’s 65-year-old record with his first-inning double off Houston Astros starter Luis Garcia gave him an on-base streak of 43 consecutive games.
The Rays franchise record for consecutive games reaching base safely is 48 games, set by Tommy Pham between August 21,2018 – April 17, 2019.
Steve Carney is the founder and publisher of St. Pete Nine. One of the people most associated with baseball coverage in Tampa Bay, he spent 13 seasons covering the Rays for flagship radio station WDAE, first as producer of Rays Radio broadcasts, then as beat reporter beginning in 2011. He likes new analytics and aged bourbon, and is the owner of one of the ugliest knuckleballs ever witnessed by baseball scouts.
