Utley's streak was extraordinary. Despite 21 fewer games, he actually had more multi-hit games than DiMaggio. While Utley had at least two hits in 66% of his games, Joe had multiple hits in only 39%. As a "one-hit wonder" Joe's streak was far more vulnerable to ending than most other hitting streaks of 35 or more games. On 34 separate occasions, only a slightly superior pitcher or fielder could have ended Joe's streak.
