DiMaggio's Unbeatable Streak

75 years ago, New York Yankees centre fielder Joe DiMaggio began a hitting streak that would last 56 consecutive games, a Major League record. It is a record some say will never be broken. Tune in when Contact presents the documentary, 56: DiMaggio’s Unbeatable Streak. Before America’s involvement in the Second World War, the spring of 1941 was a time of relative innocence. We examine that time, the man behind the hitting streak and whether such a record is truly unbeatable.
