Tommy Holmes, who hit in 37 consecutive games in 1945 to set a modern National League record that stood until it was broken by Pete Rose, died Monday. He was 91. Holmes died of natural causes at an assisted living facility, daughter Patricia Stone said. Holmes' hitting streak came while he played for the Boston Braves and is the ninth longest in major league history.
