Jay Hook on April 23, 1962 against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was a right hander who batted left. Born Nov. 18, 1936. -----
Jay Hook threw a five hitter against the Pirates at Forbes Field on April 23, 1962. The Mets broke a nine game losing streak winning 9-1.

Ted Williams had .420 under current batting average calculation rules in 1941, but officially he hit .406; the actual record belongs to Tip O'Neill, who hit .492 in 1887. If you discount 19th century players, the record is .424 by Rogers Hornsby.

As of the 2007 World Series, the record for consecutive base hits is 12 and is held by Pinky Higgins of the 1938 Boston Red Sox and Walt Dropo of the 1952 Detroit Tigers. consecutive hits in one game (modern day): On June 29, 1970, Ceasar Gutierrez, Det. Tigers, became the first MLB player to hit 7 consecutive. 12 inning game. (I'm pretty sure it's been done since.) CONSECUTIVE HITS: As I see the question, it is not only in one game and even tough it is registered that Walt Droppo fo Detroit had 12 consecutive hits in a streak during the 1952 season, John Kling of the Cubs in 1902, according the SABR has that record -12-, tied by Droppo. It was done from the 24 to 28 of August. By the way, nobody else has done it without walks in between. In one game? Rennie Stennet of the Pittsburg Pirates has the modern record of 7, considering 9 innings (September 16, 1975). César Gutiérrez did it, as shown above, in 12 IPs (June 21, 1970) with Detroit; the only ones.

According to mlb.com, Chase Utley of the Philadelphia Phillies was the 34th player in MLB history to hit a home run in his first World Series at bat.

If anyone knows of a site that has this list, please add it to this answer.
