Name the 5 players in MLB history who had the longest consecutive streaks of 100+ hits in a season by a catcher.
Hint......Joe Torre isn't one of the answers as he never caught after 1970, thus ending his streak at the catching position.
I can't wait for one of the supposed good guesses.

Posada....like many good guesses had an injury year just recently and broke up his streak
Carter is a great guess but nope.....
Bench is tied for 2nd place with 12 consecutive

only 1 out of 3, ouch! haha
Maybe Mike Piazza? I know he had one injury year which may have messed up the streak

I believe Piazza stopped at 10 consecutive.....which is just of the top 5.....though I think Mike is ust one of 7 catchers to go for 10 or more.

Ivan Rodrigues is the all-time leader with 18 consecutive (and currently leads MLB in batting average)
Yogi Berra and Johnny Bench are tied for 2nd at 12 apiece.

Despite his 3 MVP's (not sure he deserved 2 of them) Roy Campanella's longest streak of 100+ hit seasons was just 5

Simmons has the 2nd most hits for a catcher.....but never topped 10 consecutive seasons of 100+
CARLTON FISK......his highest consecutive streak of 100+ hits in his illustrious HOF career.......T-H-R-E-E

^^^^^^^^^^ I wasn't trying to sound like an ass...but may have, my apology.....just believe Fisk (though great) was overrated.

Munson had 10 in a row at his death at age 32.....maybe could've got close to Pudge's number.
Active.....AJ Pierynski has 9 in a row and old man Kendall has 10 consecuive to start the year.
