Paul Lo Duca's hitting streak is over, but he did have a walk Thursday. As John Wiebe points out, you probably won't hear much about this, "because 'on-base streak' doesn't roll off the tongue or conjure up the memories like 'hitting streak.' "
The solution seems simple enough. A new word: "basing."

Make the world a better place, everyone. Spread the word ... literally.
