...unbreachable hitting record in baseball. In the nearly six decades since it was established, no one has come within 11 games of it. Was the streak a fluke? Not if you go back to 1933, when the 18-year-old DiMaggio, playing in the extremely competitive Pacific Coast League, hit safely in 61 straight games.

"And the other reason is, I feel obligated to take my music around and let people hear me." According...

UMass has been ranked high consistently in national polls, and although having fallen in recent weeks, UMass remains a formidable challenge for the Crimson. A victory next Friday night would put Harvard near the top of collegiate East Coast water polo...
