61 in '61
The Day by Day Database now goes back to 1961. You can re-live Roger Maris' chase of Babe Ruth's single season home run record. Looking at it, Maris suffered some pretty long stretches with few home runs. From 7/26 to 8/10 he hit just one, a total of 16 games, and at the beginning of the season, he also hit just one home run in his first 16 games.
The other thing we now have is a complete game by game record for all batters and pitcher who played for expansion teams. That's 14 of the current 30 MLB franchises.
