Looking Back At The Bulldog's Streak

A young Skip Schumaker (who wears Orel's 55 today) and Orel Hershiser

There have been a number of nice pieces recently about Orel Hershiser's MLB-record 59 consecutive scoreless innings. All are worth reading on the 25th anniversary of the remarkable feat:

• "A little deja Blue in Orel Hershiser's record streak" (Ben Bolch, LAT)
• "Fractions don't add up in scoreless streak" (Bolch, LAT)
• "Inside Hershiser's scoreless streak" (Mark Simon, ESPN)
• "Who could break Hershiser's streak?" (David Schoenfield, ESPN)
• "25th anniversary: Hershiser's streak begins" (Chris Jaffe, Hardball Times)
• "Orel Hershiser began his scoreless streak 25 years ago" (Eric Stephen, TBLA)
