Nope. But those guys had to be fairly close. The number is only in the 150 range. This guy did it all in a 5 or 6 year period where he was really solid offensively. I'm assuming he had some injuries after that.
Not a hall of famer or anything but he was probably about half way to becoming a hall of very gooder.

Nope. This guy flies under the radar because he was on the early Padres teams. And he was basically the only guy that didn't suck on some of those teams. This won't help you guess him but interestingly he wasn't drafted. But he was taken by a couple teams in rule 5 until somehow the Padres were smart enough to take him in the expansion draft. He had a 5 year run where he hit 149 homers, which would have been very hard to do in San Diego-his OPS+ ranged from 126 to 145.

Yeah I know all time is Joe D

Yeah I know all time is Joe D

That is the MLB record. But the question was worded very specifically. I suspect there is a longer streak SOMEWHERE.
