I updated the post, also correcting McOwen's final stats. Dropping the MWL streak from 37 to 35 games raises the question of whether that record is still intact. Joel,

According to the 5/29/1977 Waterloo Courier (page 46); Toups had a *35* game hitting streak which ended on May 27. (That's also what the MWL Media Guide & Record Book shows.) At the end of the streak, he was hitting .315; obviously his hitting deteriorated later in the season. (Information courtesy of NewspaperArchive.com .) A couple notes:

Everyone knows that he also holds the major league record. His minor league record is 48 years old. Both records may be the most difficult to break.
