Major League Baseball, where the best are usually measured over many months and 162 games, will do its best to cram a season into two months and 60 games beginning late next month. Joe DiMaggio, 1941: This would seem to be the easiest 60-game stretch to find, since DiMaggio hit in a record 56 consecutive games from May 15-July 15. Over the Red Sox’s first 60 games in 1941, Williams hit .407. After homering just once in the Giants’ first seven games, Bonds went deep 35 times in the Giants’ 60 games from Apr. The closer didn’t appear until the Angels’ third game but racked up 26 saves (in 27 opportunities) over the next 60 games.
