 | Cougars End Spitler Streak Wednesday, April 25th , 1962 Heinie Spitler's 21-game hitting streak has now come and gone. It was snapped today as the San Francisco Sailors suffered a setback against the Chicago Cougars, 5-4. Spitler went without a hit in 4 trips to the plate. He was visibly upset during a postgame press conference, but it appeared that the streak had little to do with it. "The hitting streak was one of those things where it was fun while it lasted, but I'm not going to lose any sleep about it tonight," he said. "On the other hand, I am going to lose sleep about dropping this game today." So far this season, Spitler is hitting .278 with no home runs. |   |
