getting it done - everyday

Without a doubt, the story of the 2011 baseball season so far has been Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier.

Ethier currently is in the midst of a 27-game hitting streak, meaning he has gotten at least a single, double, triple, or home run in every single game he has played in this year.  This is a great start by Ethier, and if he reaches base on Monday night, he will be exactly half way to Joe DiMaggio's all-time record of getting a hit in 56 consecutive games, which he did in 1941.

I expect that once Ethier gets past 30 games that he will start to receive national attention.  There have been a lot of 27 game hitting streaks, but once you get to 30, you start making history that people will remember.  Only 35 players have hitting streaks of greater than 30 games.
