Hitting Streak-Uggla

Sometimes I forget how unusual it is for a MLB to go over 20 games in a hitting streak.
I admit shcck with Dan Uggla 29 game hitting streak being the 2nd longest in Braves history.

With the Braves history of excellence since the 90's, I never gave it thought.
Rico Carty team record of 31 games in 1970, led me to say "Who?"

The DiMaggio streak really maybe the most untouchable day to day streak in professional sports.
Only Ty Cobb had two streaks of 30 or more games.

On the Braves, speaking of excellence.
Since 1991 they have been in playoffs all but 5 years!.  2006-2009. In 1995 they were 2nd in strike shortened season.
That is an absolutely crazy stat.
